Alternative to vinyl hood?

Post by 270buck » Wed Sep 26, 2012 11:43 am

Hi,

I need a new vinyl hood for my SJ.

Is there anything out there as an alternative IE a hard top that clips on and off when required?

I seem to remember at some point on the forum there are fibreglass hardtops available but I am not sure how they would create a seal on the windscreen?

Cheers

Buck

Yes you can get hardtops. Don't find many second hand one's about. Prices vary quite a bit dependant on condition. Mike had a SJ he was breaking that looked like it has a good one.........

yes you can get a removable hardtop for an sj, but they are pretty rare. Best place is ebay.

look here

not sure if helen took any photos of it when we took it off but it comes apart in 5 pieces (sunroof, roof panel, 2 side window panels and then the rear door glass) plus various nuts and bolts that hold it all on
if in doubt, FLAT OUT!
