Looking for hard top for 1993 Sidekick. Any ideas?
I have the Rally Tops "Sporttop" on my 91 tracker. With the sunroof and rear window options. One problem with these is that, in the rain, there are no rain gutters to keep water from running down over the doors and windows . It's weathertight till you try to get in in the rain, then water cascades down on you and into the floor! I do like that its carpeted inside and a lot quieter than the rag top.Looking for hard top for 1993 Sidekick. Any ideas?
Guess what, the 3G grand vitara is like that too, no rain gutters and you open the door the ran hits the door sill and you as you're getting in or out. Real pain in the proverbial. Why did they do away with the rain gutters on cars!??? Bring back the 1970's at least they had them.I have the Rally Tops "Sporttop" on my 91 tracker. With the sunroof and rear window options.

But I miss gutter mount radio aerials, getting your fingers caught, and the big roof racks with the sucker cups that clamped onto the gutters tooA fraction of a MPG rating.. (cut the wind drag)
They could have easily designed them into the fiberglass when the mold made at almost zero cost!Guess what, the 3G grand vitara is like that too, no rain gutters and you open the door the ran hits the door sill and you as you're getting in or out.

Yep, I agree, even just a small channel would help deflect most of it.They could have easily designed them into the fiberglass when the mold made at almost zero cost!
You never heard of a rain coat?My '91 tintop Tracker has HUGE gutters -- as least compared to the ones on my '76 Honda Civic.
Maybe it's just a tintop thing, but it makes no difference -- with or without gutters, I'm either soaked before I get in, or I get soaked after I get out.
Which caused the demise of my favorite ‘no draft’ window, as well.A fraction of a MPG rating.. (cut the wind drag)
I use an umbrella -- MUCH more classy.You never heard of a rain coat?![]()
Look for a company called ATC, headquartered in Garnett Kansas. They specialize in fiberglass truck caps and bed covers. I bought 3 tops (2 early, 1 later model) through one of their dealers. Quality is better than the Ralley, and they'll paint them any color you want, just provide the appropriate vehicle color code.Looking for hard top for 1993 Sidekick. Any ideas?
So sad......looks like they've now moved to Kansas City. (specifically Ottawa) www.atctruckcovers.com. might be worth a call, though. 800.983.2787. They've also got a location in Elkhart IN, 800.776.2340...
