Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Posted: **Mon Feb 25, 2008 6:09 pm**

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.

get one from austops from maleny on the sunshine coast.

made out of marine grade everything last for ages and look better than standard ones, i think the vitara ones are around the 700 mark i know sierra ones are 600

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

(if you take care of it it reckon would last 4-5 years, abuse it and it will live 18 months)

thanks guys.
i saw a few on ebay for around $400
i dont know what the quality of those on ebay tho.
i would have to get a car cover for it because i dont have a garage to put it in.

thanks heaps

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

(sorry to sway to thread)

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

they are the same, i fitted a 89-94 top to a 98 2.0L vitara
(that's Sierra or Vits i sell another shameless plug for me)

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.
