vitara soft tops

Post by shandy »

hey guys
i was just wondering about the vitara soft top roofs, how long is the life of the roof roughly?
also how much are they new? and where can you get them cheaper, i have heard that they can be around $800 and from china how true is this?

thanks

I found one for a friend on Ebay for $359 plus delivery. He was stoked because Suzuki want over $2500 :!: :!:
It depends where you park it IE: in shade or full sun as to how long it lasts. Using a preservative regularly will extend its life also.

If it was $359 it was either me or a guy in perth who sold it. If you want one i can sell ' em to Outerlimits members for $345 :D
(if you take care of it it reckon would last 4-5 years, abuse it and it will live 18 months)

what about sierra ones, what $ can u do them on. i borrowed my brothers one today and when i put it ony my car some of the buttons didnt line up well and one knob at the rear door wasnt even close to fitting (3rd one across). im pretty sure its one of the imported ones. are yours like this and do u get your from the same china as the perth guy?
thanks

Does anyone know if there is a difference on the front retaining clips on the vitara soft tops (black plastic hook things sewn into the top) between the 88'-95' and 95' to 99' models? I am pretty sure there all the same but apparently Bestop in the states list a different top for the later model.

Thanks

Sorry forgot to mention that I used a Suzuki Vitara 1998, 6 cl fuel injected. I check other brands and they look the same.
The one I rented looks the same as the chevrolet tracker and Sidekick.
When I rented this one I saw another one that it look smaller, the roof area is smaller.
Hope this helps.
