FRONT overhead molle panel and soft-top?

[crash3400]

Anyone using one of these with a soft-top? I've seen several posts about the rear molle panels, but only a few mentions of the front one that amount to "i got one". Most I've seen say "not for use with soft top", but for the life of me I can't figure out why. I've heard they can be a pain to install, but nothing about why they only work with hard tops. Ideas or experiences on why?

I've got the Epic Adventure Outfitters Crow panel it would probably work fine with a soft-top tho I only have a hard top.

The way it's installed you have to pop out the rear sound bar and attach it to the frame bolts on the rear. The front has to be drilled and screwed into the cab frame.

All of the Amazon panels I've seen isn't half as sturdy as the Crow and you just 3M tape them on so yea you couldn't do that with a soft-top. It comes down to how you install the front two screws.

I have the exact one in my Glad, I love it. I have my CB mounted in it as well. Only down fall is it can be a head banger occasionally but then again Im 6' 2"

I run one with a soft top no issues. I am using 3m because I didn't want to drill holes in my windshield header. I have had no issues. It just sits in the front and bolts in the rear, the worst it can do is rattle if the tape comes loose.
