Abstract: A modular top system for a vehicle is provided. In various embodiments, the system includes a plurality of rail sections, a plurality of corner brackets for connecting the rail sections to form a frame, and a flexible, collapsible cover to be deployed over and connected to the frame. The modular top system can additionally include a plurality of cover connecting devices disposable on a periphery of each of the sides of the cover. Each connecting device is for removably connecting each respective cover side to the frame to deploy the cover over and connect the cover to the frame. Each rail section can comprise at least one assembly connector for connecting any of a plurality of system assembly components to the respective rail section, and/or at least one accessory connector for connecting at least one modular top accessory to the respective rail section.
