Title: Are stock Sidekick Hardtops removable?
Post by: kozaz on March 09, 2006, 07:07:23 PM: I've never owned one, I'm sure it can be removed to be replaced. But is it designed to be removed easily? Kind a like a jeep hardtop?

Basically, was it designed to be removed frequenty by the owner?

Thanks,
Ryan

Suzuki's OEM top [ 2-piece ] is excellent in every category except safety [ possibly durability ] and is decent looking in my opinion. I have only owned one Sidekick [ 1991 HT ] but have had Jeep YJ'S [ 3 ] and they couldnt compare with Ã‚Â the style and easeability of the Suzuki unit. Jeeps feel more rugged for sure but Ã‚Â Sidekick's ETC are in their own class. Let me know if you find a 4x4 convertible that has a better system.

Now that I did not even think of, and I was looking at a steel roof (Picture).

Thanks for the clarification guys! My wife insists that the top comes off when we buy one.
