Post up your Sierra/sj410 Fiberglass roofs.. front and rear sections.. maruti rear sections. whatever fits into the title
If we can get a variety of the different types here, it can be used as a reference for other members who may purchase one and not know what it is, or be looking to purchase and the seller hasnt specified.

Bonus kudos if you have hardware fitment pics or alternative options to them. Try and keep the chit chat to a minimum and the tech/details as on track as possible!

Im not sure what my front section is.. (open to identification, there is no Part numbers inside)

Rear section is a 5 piece Suzuki OME part.

Hoping the front n rear sections will work together!!

That front over head section looks like a Flexiglass job.

Yep its a flexiglass, the TJM type has a smooth surface without the two bulges.

AFAIK the Flexiglass front peice leaves a gap when joining to the rear peice, the b pillar is visible.
The TJM type joins without a gap, you will notice with the TJM canopy that it has a gutter where it meets with each peice.

This front section is the Freemax top, it fits a high top fibglass canopy.

This is the TJM rear section with the picture of the gutter i was talking about.

This is a Maruti rear section, there is only one type like this. This peice fits over the b pillar not up againts it.

These are some fittings that hold the front section on.
You can buy these from hardware stores.

This is the top I have on my coily, believe it is a flexiglass (possibly an early model).

^^^ Where have your seatbelt supports gone? You kind of need those.

It's a coily so they don't have any by factory AFAIK.

Yeah sorry fatzook can you please explain with a little bit more detail or a picture? I am a bit confused. I am not doubting you, I am the 3rd owner of my car so its possible that the first owner removed them and I would prefer to have the car in the safest condition possible!

I didn't realise it was a coily when I posted, but after some quick googling last night it seems like a lot of the supports are missing on coily's.

I will post pics of mine once I have all of it. :)

Trying to figure out if coily's are meant to have a potentially life saving support is more than chit-chat. It might not be relevant to this thread, but it is tech worthy.

Will post some specs and pics of mine when I get home.

I'm particularly interested in seeing how the rear, of the front section attaches to the b pillar and/or windscreen supports.
