I ordered a Rampage top a few weeks ago to find out that it is missing a drivers side strap from the factory.  This top has a hard plastic clip along the front that supposed to attach across the windshield.  It has a snap at both front corners.  ...well my windshield doesn't have a channel for that plastic thing to fit into.  Either way with the missing strap its getting returned.

Wondering who makes a good denim top for our rigs?  I guess the $35.00 ones aren't such a great deal.  My sami has 4 snaps along the windshield already.

All Zukes (non tin tops) came with the channel bolted to the wind shield frame...Yours is missing.
You are going to be hard pressed to buy an off the shelf top that doesn't require it.
 Should be easy to find from any of the Zuke parts houses...Boxcar...

Ugh figures. Mine has the removable hard top from previous owners.

Wonder what top was mounted on this thing before with the 4 front snaps.  Know of any brands that use snaps vs the channel?  Im qurious how they hold up to 60-70mph.

Are you talking about a soft top or a bikini top? Your title says Bikini.... I have a Rampage soft top and it is great. Fit perfect from the factory.

Boxcar is right about the channel... You can pick 1 up here easily: http://mikodaindustries.com/

This is my friend Mike Paralee who owns an all Samurai Salvage Yard... Tell him I sent ya and he will take care of you!

He should be able to fix you up with that rear strap and an attachment buckle as well. OEM straps and buckles are identical to the Rampage rear strap.

If you want to use the snap system, go check with your local marina.  They probably know someone who can make you up a custom top that will use snaps instead of the channel system.

There are no tops (bikini or otherwise) that I am aware of that use snaps all along the front of the top.  They all use the 2 snaps (one at each corner) and the plastic strip between them.

Thanks for all the comments.  Found a 2nd hand windshield clip today.

Still wonder whats going on with the extra snaps up there though.  1987-2011 is a long time and a lot of owners in between i suppose.
