so ive decided to fork out and buy a hardtop for my zook (89 sierra). but am having trouble finding one. i am considering buying a new one but don no what to buy.

who sells em?, i know u can get em from flexiglass (tjm) what other brands do them for sierras, what are the best brands to buy.

if i cant find one in my price range ill probs get one built out of alluminium

i was going to order a rallytops top from the USA, works out to around $1600 landed plus duties/tax.... should be cheaper to ship 2 (maybe?)

hmmm might have a think about it.
its a little more than i was hoping to spend.
i was also wanting one of the full ones (so i can still have the back seats). witch i guess is gona cost even more hahaha.

thats what made me think of half building one myslef and getting it finished (welded and bent up.) by a mate thats a boat builder. i wanna try get away under $1000.
cheers fro the help. ill probs do some drawings up and get a quote for somthing similar to that aswell as the full top ones. if ur interested ill let ya know what its gona cost. i recon it should be cheaper than that.

anyone know what the felxi glass tops r worth new

[alien]

if your mate can build me an ally one under $1k with all the fixings and seals i'd be keen too!

i'd still want the tray-covered tonneau style though.

[SSSIERA]

i havent spoken to him bout it yet, hes not realy a mate just done alot of work for us. he did the draw system in my oldmans cruzer full custom, and prety much fills the back half of the troopy for 600 so im guessing the tray back will be reasonably cheep. i wont be able to get to see him for about a month (bloody school) but ill pm ya when i do.
but drawings will be done as soon as i get my zook back. (hopfully by saturday)

sorry for the delays

Put a thread up in the 'I want' forum. U shouldn't hv too much trouble picking up a 2nd hand one.. I found mine in a coupla days..

[SSSIERA]

yeah i already have. sierra bits are alot harder to come by in wa than over there.

[sierra35]

Yep..fair point..

[TryHard]

iv got one but i think i promessed someone else they could have it ..

[honks]

you probably wont get a new one for under a grand i priced up a 3xm brand one which looks the same as the flexi glass ones and they wante $2600 + fitting + hood lining if you want it so worked out to nearly $2800

[SSSIERA]

so if a second handy poped up for $300 i should buy it?

[SierraDan]

Yep

[sierra35]

Definitely

IMHO they are all rubbish unless you can find the factory optional hardtop. they look correct and work much better than the aftermarket ones, especially flexiglass.

A guy in our club had one years ago and it was sweet.

There was one for sale here:

They look a bit different to the aftermarket ones, and fit beautifully.

[86slowsierra]

can you still get the original one from suzuki?i was able to pick up a new hinge for my top not that long ago. so you might be able to get a whole top.

[Gwagensteve]

Price? *shudder*

Nope. Individual skids means double the shipping.

I have a rally tops hard top on my vitara. I bought it through Lowrange. It was ordered with VN1 paint and arrived with black jelcoat/ primer. I had to strip it and pay to have it painted locally after paying rallytops for paint already. Shipping was about $400US and there was that again for customs clearance fees, Quarantine inspection and port charges. Fitting instructions were included but they were for another model of vitara. The fit of the top around the body panels as appauling, and it is only mounted with 2 small M6 bolts. No clips, latches, brackets or anything! Fucking SHIT!!

In summary, don't buy a rally tops hard top.
