The Softopper for the 2017-2026 Honda Ridgeline (5.3 ft bed, SKU SO-RDG60) is the original retractable soft camper shell, built to replace a heavy fiberglass or metal shell and give you what hard shell truck caps and flat tonneaus can't: cab-high covered protection with full open-bed access whenever you need it. Keep it closed for weather-resistant, out-of-sight coverage, then collapse the whole cap forward toward the cab in seconds or lift it off entirely, one person and no tools, when a bigger load calls. A corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum frame with zinc-coated steel fasteners carries an all-season laminated PVC-coated sailcloth canopy, a waterproof vinyl fabric that resists UV, rot, and mildew, stands up to sun, rain, snow, and high winds, and wipes clean, with clear vinyl windows front and rear and heavy-duty #10 YKK zippers on the rear window. Like any sewn top it can leak at high-stress seams, and seam sealer is available if you ever need it. Installation takes about 40 minutes using custom no-drill mounting hardware with no permanent modifications to your Ridgeline, and non-adhesive weather stripping runs along both sides of the truck box to help keep out dust, moisture, and road debris. Run it fully closed for covered protection and privacy, roll the side panels and rear window up for Safari Mode airflow, or open it up for your dog, all with no wind noise at highway speeds and no significant change in gas mileage. Choose Stealth Black, Desert Tan, or Battleship Gray, add tinted or solid replacement window panels for privacy when you want it, and count on window panels that swap out individually plus user-replaceable frame components so your Softopper keeps going instead of getting tossed. It's made in North America, and you can pair it with a lock box to secure valuables while getting the everyday versatility a Ridgeline owner actually uses.
