Can Surco Safari Roof Cargo Basket Fit on 1987 Suzuki Samurai with Rain Gutters
Question:
Hello, I see from one of your previous answers, a solution for a newer model roof without any rails or gutters. My old 1987 Suzuki Samurai hardtop model has the old style gutters, and I am trying to find some rig that will either allow a roof basket to attach, or a rail kit that I could attach a basket to. Not sure if that makes sense, but would appreciate any help. Ive attached a pic. Thank you,

Surco actually makes a rain gutter adapter part # DGM100 which allows the Surco Safari baskets like the # SPS4550-1101 to fit onto vehicles like your 1987 Suzuki Samurai that have similar gutters.
