Rick Hawkins, through an exclusive deal with a leading aftermarket top manufacturer, can now supply you with a new 'Safari' style top. Through Hawk Strictly Suzuki (the ONLY authorized dealer of this model), we arranged to bring it to you just in time for spring. |

  Installing
the top is a no-brainer... snap the snaps in front, secure the front 'lip'
in the windshield channel and then tie down the back using the stock top
bow for support. Pretty simple when it fits right. Unlike other tops that
use a strap, the sides (above the front door openings) have a large flap
that folds under and secures inside with velcro. This makes for a more
effective seal against the elements. The rear has snaps to keep the bow in
place. The center snap holds the bow in place while you secure the straps.
The glove-like fit of the top holds the bow in place after that. While the
top comes complete with new footman loops to secure the straps, you can
use the stock strap loops just fine. |

  The
Safari top looks great and follows the contour of the vehicle as it was
meant to be. It is available in six different colors, so chances are good
that you will find one to compliment your paint color. How did they get
such a stock look?

  If
you think there will be a chance of rain, the STC (old Kayline) rear
curtain and tonneau cover fit perfectly under it. Rick supplied the
tonneau cover to compliment the look of the Safari top and it worked very
well. You must make adjustments to the tonneau cover to run the stock top
bow, but it will fit. |

  For those of you that have put in a roll/sport cage and ditched the
stock top bow - no problem. The Safari top fit perfectly over this
aftermarket cage. It actually looked like it was made for it. We made a
couple of small adjustments to the rear corners of the tonneau cover so
that it would fit around the rear section of the cage, but the addition of
the footman loops provided with the top it made a very clean installation. |

Ever
wanted to rip out the back windows of your soft top and let the breeze come
through? I don't mean just rolling them up, but actually getting rid of
them? Zooksters have been doing this for years by cutting up an old top and
trashing the cracked or clouded plastic panels. The problem is the end
product really lacked in the 'looks' department.
