Check out Calmini at http://www.puresuzuki.com
and look in there, they have roof racks that
work with a convertable, I don't know what
you would do for overhead lights, unless they
are on the rack

www.puresuzuki.com

they make a roof rack wich can probably be easily adapted to attach lights to.

Not a stupid question at all,

This is one I brought 2nd hand here in NZ for NZ$100.

The same manufacture makes them for hard tops as well. I can't find any markings that give any indication of who made them but I believe they are from the UK some where ?  
May one of the UK guys can shed some light on them for us ?

They were a genuine Suzuki accessory.

CJ,

When I was originally looking for one for my hard top I went into a Suzuki agent over here he didn't know what I  was talking about  ::) I ended up making my own version of it, worked out better in the end just had to do some think'in and fabbing work.

I don't know if they weren't available in all country's or weather the parts guy just wasn't interested  in my small request to find out where to source one.
Gives me the sh!ts when they can't be bothered ! >:(

They were available in N.Z. as I was offered them on mine when I bought one new years ago when they were released(Yes, I now live in OZ but am a Kiwi). By the way I've put those blue bits under mine and some crawler gears in  8)

I have one of those too. It is marked 'Made in the USA', no manufacturers markings though. If you look on my site under mods/safari rack you will see how it is mounted. You might be able to get someone local to fabricate something similar or just a light bar.

That is one AWESOME RACK! You did all that by hand? That looks professionally built! IF you had that for sale and I had a a rig I'd grab that for sure!
