Does anyone know if the honda factory soft top and rear panel combo will work with any of the aftermarket windshields? Specifically EMP's hardcoat windshield. Thanks.

Hmm, is there any negatives to going with softop? I dont really like the way the factory hardtop adds height to an already tall rollcage. I havent seen any reviews on EMP's hardtop yet but that looks like a good alternative.

There is a hard top that doesn't add any height to the buggy, save the thickness of the top.

Not supposed to trailer it with the soft top. I have the soft top and windshield (both Honda). Got caught in a downpour once. Water leaks between the roof and windshield a little. Drips on my legs when driving. Just above my knees. I still like them, but they aren't perfect.

I actually prefer the soft top/rear window combo. Its really much like everything else.....Personal preference. I like the aesthetics of the soft top and I haven't had any issues with water leaking between the windshield and roof. My roof actually covers the top 3" of the windshield and the canvas runs thru a track on the windshield to prevent that from happening.
