for today’s buggies…
Back in the early days of dune buggies, the rule was simple: if you needed something for your buggy, someone in the hobby figured out how to make it. That same spirit still lives on at ACME.
Over the years we’ve worked to keep the buggy tradition rolling by filling the gaps the industry leaves behind, just like we did by helping keep the Berrien name alive and continuing to build our custom tube chassis. The dune buggy world has always been about enthusiasts helping enthusiasts keep these fiberglass beauties on the road.
Not long ago there was really only one source offering new “full soft tops” for dune buggies with side windows, etc.. Original tops could sometimes be found, but most had long since cracked, faded, or yellowed after decades in the sun.
When that supplier decided to step away from the hobby a few years before COVID, we saw the same problem many buggy owners saw, great cars with not a good option for a full soft-top or a way to drive them when the weather turned.
So ACME stepped in. We partnered with the same fabricator who had been producing the tops, keeping the same trusted design, fit, and quality buggy owners had relied on for years.
Since 2019, ACME has proudly kept these tops available for today’s dune buggy community; new, simple, practical, and true to the classic buggy era. Because sometimes keeping the dune buggy era current, it isn’t just about bodies and chassis. Sometimes it’s about making sure the little things never disappear from the hobby.

The Full Soft Top and kit comes with all Stainless Steel Hardware, SS snaps, SS mounting pins, a full storage bag, and a boot cover to store the soft top while folded down still on the buggy. ACME can also install onto your buggy at our regular hourly rates. Please contact us if you have any questions.
