That is a MUCH cleaner look..plus I be it keeps all kinds of garbage/dirt/dust from blowing into the folded top and getting stuck there only to be unleashed when you put the top up. I still don't have a soft top..i just go hard top to no-top with my top hoist. I often see jeeps driving down the road and think "how does that folded back top not fill up with air like a parachute". Ridiculous..but i still think it. Either way..good product for the dough.
