    Default Ute Hardtop - To Fit With Maloo Sailplane

    Hey guys i suppose the name says it all. im doing research into hardtops for my ute, and just woundering if anyone knows anywhere that sells a hard top to fit the maloo Sailplane, also with the two humps going across the back ( attach picture below ). i know its probably a very difficult item to find. but anyone got names or prices?. Tried looking everywhere. ( I would prefer one brand new. )

    i got the photo of a shop called Spoiler Shop ( www.spoilershop.com.au ) but they dont have the hardlids for sale and plus i want one to fit the maloo sailplane . as it would need a different design to fit around the bars on the side. but i would like it in that style . ( That picture is from their add for a VR-VS to VX Maloo Rear Bar )

    i too am in the same boat. i have a vs ute with a sail plane and need also have a full size hard lid. ive seen a few utes with sailplane and hard lid. all they did was modify the hardlid to be cut out around the sailplane. not too hard from the looks of it

    good luck mate

    The only hard lids to fit a VR - VS maloo sailplane are Original Maloo pieces, very rare and far between on their own. Only other thing is a custom job. Scoops are a non standard item for a VP - VS hard lid and are an aftermarket item. I was lucky that when i bought my sailplane i bought the hard lid to fit as well
