[Frank v R]

Hi Casey , the roof rods are easy to make and VERY important, they help to stiffen the entire system , without them the tarp will slowly tear itself apart, the tarp will tear at the top sides by the windshield and you will also lose the small flaps that secure the top to the forward hoop, it causes alot of stress on the windshield and the top bows, I saw this alot on the jeeps when they were still in the system and in civy use, hope this helps,
regards Frank
