Question:
What is the average time to install? Can I drive through an automatic car wash with this soft topper on?

Hey Raphael, it takes about 15-30 minutes roughly. It's not hard at all and uses basic tools (9/16" socket/wrench and tape measure). A battery-operated drill could definitely speed up the process. It's just a one person install.
And yes, it can go through a car wash as long as it's all closed up and not open where water would get in.
What vehicle is this going on? The Fas-Top Solo Topper # FT64WV you were looking at fits 2017-2026 Honda Ridgeline. I can confirm fitment for you if you have something else. If you didn't see, there's also a tonneau cover and ladder rack add-on that goes with it; pretty neat! They visited our facility last year and I was really impressed with quality and ease of use / install.
Are you planning on using a truck bed mattress for some camping?
