Suzuki soft top

[united1]

Hi, I'm looking for a soft top for my 1982 sj410. Have found one from 1997. Does anyone knows if they are the same?

Again. I am asking for help. But I am doing so many hours of research and if one day any of you will restore an early suzuki , I will surely be able to help.

All Sj soft tops are interchangeable, pretty sure all original ones are identical.

Dude...as Scottie says...all SJ/Samurai hoods are the same fit. The variable is on quality of after market manufacturers

OE hoods were a snug fit didn't stretch over time...also they had an inner lining / fabric that meant the interior of the hood did not collect condensation and then drip it on you as you drive!!

I currently have a monsoon hood...it is nice quality and fits well although it has stretched and is baggy around the B pillar. It does piss me off when there is moisture on the inside of the car that freezes when it is proper cold then defrosts when I am driving...then starts dripping the moisture all over me and the passenger seat

I doubt if there are any OE hoods around but you never know...

Look forward to seeing some snaps of your motor when it is all together

The seller of this link (above) is claiming that this is the original soft top from a 1997 model.

Was the early models of sj410 soft tops , side windows welded or sewing ?

It depends, commercial SJ's had no back seats so they had no rear windows or In either metal top or soft top, domestic SJ's had windows and rear seats,

Heres a brochure for the commercial SJ410's http://forum.suzukiclubuk.co.uk/vi ... =23&t=3139

My problem is that I found an early soft top with the plastic window sewed and I like to find out if it's a factory thing. I am noticing that the 1981\1983 models are a bit different than the others so it might be possible that the early ones were sewed.
