Before I go and blow $500-$600 on a new soft top for the missus' new fun mobile (92 Vit SWB), what are my options for replacing the already trashed one?
Should I buy local made and if so do you have any brand names and/or suppliers I can contact, preferrably in Melb?
Are the ebay import jobbies good quality and/or worth the wait and money?
Google has not been my friend today as I have not found much info in Aus on prices or availablity ...
i'm looking for the same
cheapest i have found is aus made and local for $525
the ebay ones are aus made i think and come in 2 varieties
one that last 5yrs and the other 10 yrs
the one i have at the moment is a bestop and its trashed
i have found on amazon.com they have them from us$200 and i can't imagine shipping would be over $100

How have you found the bestop branded ones? How long did it last, etc?
I am currently waiting on shipping costs from a mob in the US for a Bestop Replace-a-top.
numerous sierra's up here have the fast back style soft top like i have on my vitara.
no good if you still want to cart people around in the back, but if its only a 2 seater, then it shouldn't be too much problem. of course, storage will be a little less in the back, but i have had no problems.
and i think maria is looking at making soft tops for vitara's like she has done the sierras.
I've already received an e-mail from Maria, she was already looking into Vit tops before I contacted her but at this stage, she is not sure when they will be available and the one I need to replace is fairly urgent.
Although I don't mind the fastback option, it's the missus car and she wants a full soft top so in this case, what she says, goes ...
my bestop branded one is very trashed
not sure how old it is but all the stitching breaks with the slightest bit of pressure and the vinyl is cracked i'd rather a canvas top over a vinyl top anyday
a place in sydney imports bestops but want over $600 for them so i'll prob just get the local made one as i need one asap
