The Softopper soft truck cap is a retractable soft camper shell built specifically for your 2006-2016 first-generation Honda Ridgeline with the 5 ft bed. Unlike a heavy fiberglass or metal camper shell or a flat tonneau cover, it gives you cab-high, all-weather protection and then folds forward toward the cab in seconds for a full open bed, or lifts off entirely by one person. The corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum frame carries a 2-ply laminated PVC-coated sailcloth canopy, a waterproof vinyl fabric that resists UV, rot, and mildew and stands up to sun, rain, and snow. Your Ridgeline installs with custom, vehicle-specific mounting brackets in about an hour, with no drilling and no permanent modifications, and it ships standard with clear vinyl windows front and rear plus non-adhesive weather stripping that seals along both sides of the truck box. Closed up, it keeps your gear covered and out of sight, with no significant change in gas mileage and no wind noise even at highway speeds. Softopper has built the original retractable pickup truck top in North America since 2000. Driving a newer truck? There is a Softopper built for the 2017-2026 Ridgeline bed too.
Key Features:
- Retractable full-bed access - Folds forward toward the cab in seconds for a full open bed, or roll up the side panels and rear window into Safari Mode for airflow and quick access.
- Cab-high coverage - Gives your Ridgeline cab-high protection a flat tonneau cover cannot, and replaces heavy fiberglass or metal camper shells without the bulk.

- No-drill bracket install - Installs with custom, vehicle-specific mounting brackets in about an hour, with no drilling and no permanent modifications.
- Waterproof vinyl fabric - The canopy is 2-ply laminated PVC-coated sailcloth in black, tan, or grey, a waterproof vinyl fabric that resists UV, rot, and mildew and holds up across all four seasons.
- Rust-proof aluminum frame - Built on a corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum frame with heavy-duty #10 YKK zippers that keep the rear window secure and operating smoothly.
- Non-adhesive weather stripping - Runs beneath the Softopper bed rails to seal along both sides of the truck box against dust, moisture, and road debris.
