We are often asked this question, here is the answer:
YES, you can fold a Softopper when installed with our bed racks, but it cannot be folded in the traditional way.
When folded in the traditional manner, the canopy grows in height, which will interfere with the bottom of the bed rack.
So how do we fold the Softopper?

The first step is to unsnap the bottom of the canvas along each side of the topper and flip the canvas sides up on top of the canopy, and also remove the four straps from the D-rings.
The next step is to remove the tubular frame of the topper from the pins inside the canopy, now the entire frame of the topper can “drop down”.
Pull the entire frame/canvas assembly rearward a bit, now you can fold the topper forward. After the topper is folded forward, reattach the frame to the pins. The canopy is now folded and secure.
Reverse this procedure to put the Softopper back up.
We hope this helps!! If you have any questions about this procedure, let us know.
