2-door roof rack

I was wondering if anyone knew if Calmini's two door Tracker roof rack will fit the newer body style Trackers?

Best way to solve  this problem is to call Steve Kramer at : 800-345-3305 ( CALMINI )  ;D

Had to laugh when I read that. I tried to get a rack from Calmini for my 2000 Vitara, it the same as the earlier Track/Kicks. I rang Calmini from the UK (not cheap) and just got into a 15 minute argument on what shape my car was. Whoever answered the phone said they had all the data from Suzuki and that model wasn't made after 1998 (they still make it as a 1.9TD van). They swore the rack wouldn't fit my car and said they wouldn't even sell me one. After much insistence on my part they said they'd sell me one but would write on the invoice 'WILL NOT FIT'. After all that they had none in stock and couldn't say when they were going to make any more. Oh mines a soft top by the way. I bought a rack from a UK Suzuki dealer NOS, its marked Made In the USA but not with a manufacturers name.

The 94 is the same shape as mine. The mounting points already exist on the car and there was no need to drill any additional holes. I'll be putting an article up on my web site in the next couple of weeks. Strictly speaking  only the bars are were a Suzuki option, the cage is a Steel Horse item.
