Advice on Fixing/Finding Soft Top Plastic Body Molding?
« on: January 07, 2009, 05:27:52 AM »
Around the rear windows, where it curves around the rear tail lights, the plastic molding that the top gets hooked onto on the bottom edge is broken in a few places. I have a FEW of the broken pieces and could probably epoxy them back on, but I would prefer to fix it 100%.

I have been and can continue to live with this, but I would rather not. I recall looking last year for  replacement hardware and no luck at all.

95 2-door Tracker.

Have you tried calling Hawk Suzuki?  Getting the parts from someone stripping a convertible or a junk yard are probably your only options at this point.

95 and 91 trackicks use different soft top hardware.....so the stuff you have won't do him any good.

I thought the change in hardware was on the 96 model.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

They're not all that complicated pieces to fabricate--except I'm totally spastic with this stuff. Where is Hawk Suzuki located?
