I've read the discussion on having the Sunrider soft top open and the rear window in. How about the reverse of that? Rear window and quarter panels remove and the top up? There are days when a little shade is nice, but full airflow through the windows and out the back would be nice.

I know this was brought up before and some were concerned that you would lose the anchor points from the Sunrider to the hard top.
Seeing as that's only the plastic clamp with two small screws, and the larger mount points that remain intact are on the side rails, I don't think it'll hurt.
If you try it, advise.
If you don't, I just might. :like:

I assume the OP's mean a "sunrider" soft top like this, but with the doors on.
Yea, that is one of the numerous ways you can run the soft top.

That's one of my favorite ways to run when it's 90*+
Usually doors off but I've done a ton with doors on as well

Yup do it all the time, even leave the corners on running around town , just make sure velcro is on good

Get a cheap table leaf bag off amazon to throw the back window in (pro tip from someone here on forum)

Yep, do this quite a bit. I also have a nice mesh sun shade I bought for when I open the roof during the day. The sun is strong in southwest Florida.

I think the OP question is if anyone with a Sunrider top has removed the remaining hard-top. Leaving behind just the sunrider…that would be awesome to know if that is possible!

Definitely not what was asked, he's talking about the factory "sunrider" soft top
