Vitara 4u2 Soft Top

Post by mjm8292 » Wed Apr 30, 2014 11:35 am

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this site so bear with me :)
This may seem like a bit of a silly query but I've recently bought a 1999 Vitara 4u2 soft top. I've never owned one before and it has been sat around and left to rot for a couple of years. My issue is with the soft top, it is mainly intact, but I can't figure out how the removable zipped rear screen attaches to the body of the Vitara. It doesn't seem to be attached in the same way as most Vitara soft tops. All I have is a large square bar attached to the bottom of the rear screen and nothing else. At present this bar just hangs inside the boot and the boot has filled up with water from the rain.
Has anyone seen this before? I can attach a photo tomorrow to show you what I mean if needs be.
Thank you,
Mel :)

Hopefully there is a photo attached... this should be the rear screen and bar hanging with the boot shut.

There should be a clip at each end, yours are probably snapped off.

Ah, excellent. Thank you Rhinoman! Is there any chance you could show me what it should look like please? It's very difficult to find online!
