Soft Top Rear Corner Clips

[Tazzy7uk]

Hi folks.*

The rear corner clips that are stitched to the soft top itself and clip over the back corners of the car...*

Can you buy these separate or has anyone ever repaired/modded these?*

Thanks

Not that I know of. I believe they are considered part of the soft top itself. It's possible if you found someone with a ripped top, you might be able to get these parts off of it.
Where are you located?? UK? If so, you should try to contact Dacar Suzuki, which is a breaker yard that deals with a lot of Suzuki Vitaras, and they may have a wrecked one with a top that is unusable. Otherwise, check with the junkyards wherever you are. And practice your sewing!!

In the UK yes.

They are split so I'm wondering if there is anyway to patch them up so to speak

Google solvent welding. Something like this might work:

That's a really good idea Bex.
Might give something like that a go!!

Good luck, and if it works, post back (maybe with photos), and let us know how you get on. Otherwise contact Kevin at Dacar, he might have an old unsellable soft top lying around and will cut the plastic bits out for you.
