too close! nearly dead sj!

It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Oooh always nasty when the soft top rips! When I tipped mine over the only real damage (apart from all the fuel coming out!) was that it shredded the soft top!

I did manage to "stitch" it back together with cable ties though!

Yeah as long as its a Monsoon roof and its clean before you take it, Monsoon should be able to repair it!!!

Mine needs a new rear window, and the zips stitching back on... I would do it myself but knowing what I'm like with sewing I would probably end up attached permanently to the soft top!
