 ok , here are some photos .
 a friend thats here  just reminded me .  we saw a 91 down in a wrecking yards a couple years back that must have had this type of top on it  as it had this  Rail that went across the center . i thought it was for some kind of sliding light bar or something .
 could this have been some kind of dealer option  top ?. its really heavy  probably 2X as heavy as  My new Bestop  on my sidekick ??

Bestop makes a Sunport top like what you describe.  At least, they used to.

I've got two of those tops for samurai. they were best top and work great. The center rail make it possible to take the front of rear off.

I'll look for the tracker top and the shape that it's in. I'm pretty sure it might need a zipper stitched but the windows were in great shape. As long as they are not cracked or too brittle then they can be pollished to be very clear.

ok so yep its a sunport top .  seems that best top must not be making these for the sidekick any longer . i did find a couple places that showed they had them . however  for around 550-600 .
 most didnt have them anylonger or stated un avalable .
 i guess she is going to  get a  standard top .
 anyone ever owned one of the trails end tops ???? any good ?
or how about the Rugged Ridge XHD Soft-tops ?

It is probably just an original factory top.  The actual factory tops were heavier material than even the Bestop replacement tops are.
