Abstract
Improved soft top assemblies, systems, and methods to cover an open space above the driver and passenger seats of an automobile provide or use precision molded frame elements with interconnecting fastening assemblies to support a soft top cover attached to forward and rearward frame elements. A centrally hinged and pivoting stabilizing bar fitted within frame side elements maintains support and stability to the soft top cover. Forward and rearward frame elements provide mating surfaces matching existing OEM attachment points for a removable fitted hard top for the automobile. Each frame side element underside includes a channel sized to receive a corresponding closed automobile door windshield.
