vwbuge Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Looking to rebuild the cap on my '86 Brat. Who manufactured these caps? I am looking for the weather seal for the hatch. Went to Lowe's and a few hardware stores to match door weatherstripping. Can't find anything close. Is this stuff available? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 There were several manufacturers, and several styles - you'll have to be more specific I think. Also - pics would help a bunch. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84SOOB Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I have a GemTop canopy on my BRAT, company HQ located in Portland and they sell parts for them. There are a couple of other companies that made toppers, don't remember them off the top of my head though.--Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKIRA Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I have a SnugTop, it's white with black along the bottom and it's a low top. I don't know anything other than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hassey Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 most of these were allready mentioned Gem Top, Snug Top, Lear, and the best of all toppers, Vista If all you are looking for is the weather strip any topper shop will fix you up. As all of that stuff is basicly universal for all toppers/caps for the most part they will still need to see the topper to match things up. I needed the latch for mine drilled the pop rivets out put the new one in only had to cut the bars to the right lenght. and now i have the keys as i did not before I Also got both new spring risres or what ever you call them for the hatch. now the hatch stays open when you open it no more broom handles. I have no idea what topper they came from and do not care it looks factory and works thats all that matters. So take it by the topper shop and they will have it you may have to cut it to the right size. Hassey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnW Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 I have owned two that were both from Jerico. Use this page and tell us which one yours looks like and somebody will be able to tell you what brand yours is. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/brats/toppers/toppers.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hassey Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Or better yet go to any auto glass shop and with out a dought they will fix you up. No more searching hunting, web searches, quick and simple. And even if you saw the type of topper you have on the web link above it really does not matter. it does not tell you what kind they are only a photo big deal. The auto glass shop or topper shop will still look at it and tell you what you need. Hassey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
