Good morning All!

Just a quick intro to say hello,

I have been reading auszookers for months now and decided to join the community to share and assist my restoration project.
I've dreamed of owning a Sierra since nine years ago, that was when I noticed a very content gentleman driving one with two gorgeous bikini clad women in the back.
I Haven't enjoyed that luxury just yet but it's still early days

I never managed to purchase one in all that time however long story short, around one year ago I was out for dinner with a friend and we stumbled on a Sierra for sale just around the corner.
Right colour, right condition, right price and finally not in the middle of the outback!

That was one expensive dinner

my question is this;

It's a 1995 SJ413 Soft Top Leafy

The Sierra is currently getting a new coat of paint at the panel shop and I noticed 2 offset bolt holes in the windshield frame just behind the visors (on the inside of the vehicle).
2 on each side - passenger and driver
I have spoken with Suzuki wreckers and they aren't sure what they are or what they are for.

Could anyone shed some light on what these are please?

I have searched online and noticed the American Samurai sometimes have extra rails running from the factory roll bar to the window and it looks to me that is where they would line up.
Again, wreckers said they'd never seen them and aren't even sure what they would be called.

They’re for attaching the clips to retain the factory hardtop.

Legendary, thanks Gwagensteve!

How the heck did the Suzi wreckers not know that?!

Do you know if the holes in the Soft top versions were filled/covered with anything from factory?
I'm trying to get it back to original(ish) with some extra goodies and mods but I don't want any missing components that would have come out from factory.

**Sorry if this is a double post**
Not sure if under review or didn't submit

Thanks Gwagensteve!


Do you know if the bolt holes were filled/covered from factory in the soft-tops (if they didn't have a hard top option) or just left with nothing in them?

I'm looking to restore the car to original(ish) with some additional modifications but want all factory components complete.

[Gwagensteve]

No, there was no cover or anything over them.

I plonked bolts into my holes, cos in high wind & heavy rain it'd leak water through the holes hahaha
