x2, they charge an arm and a leg for piss poor quality, in saying that i still use mine, after some modifications to the clamps that hold the top down.

3xm canopies but if you thought 1600 was dear dont bother ringing them i got a quote and it was 2300 plus fitting plus 300 if you want the inside lined with carpet. with prices like that it makes it bearable to put up with the soft top flapping in the wind.

Haha yeah I thought so there page wasnt really good,

I dont mind the soft top, but I want to be able to put a roof rack on for camping and tools, im a concreter and a full length scread doesnt really fit in the back lol

I was thinking of the low range one but I want the 2 pice one and the back canopie looks like the end part of the roof gos up and I dont like that look, and ebay ones look old and no one wants to deliver lol

The aftermarket hardtop canopies are all rubbish. The ONLY hardtop canopy to have is the genuine suzuki one fitted as an option in the 1980's. They are very hard to find though, and , in fact, it would be easier to buy a whole car to get one, and sell/wreck out the car- it could be cheaper than a crappy aftermarket one.

However, none of these hardtop canopies (aftermarket or genuine) are designed to support roof load- they'll crack and flop around. You'll need a support structure like a roll bar to feed the roof load down onto the body. If you built such a thing, then you could just as easily use it with a soft top.

very true steve, i briefly considered roofracks on mine, but i don't trust the roof at all. and exo cages are ugly for a daily driver :(
