87 runner bikini tops

I want to get a bikini top for my 4runner ive searched and searched seen some most are home made though. is there any place that sells a specific top for a 4runner? Also, I've seen other 4runners here in town they have what looks like a fiberglass top that bolts onto the roof then bolts onto the roll bar does any place sell something like that? or has anyone made one? if so could you post some pics. unless the canvas is really tight id think it would slap around alot. and doesnt the sun eventually ruin it?

Yes, the conduit came from Lowe's too. It was straight, I bent two 90's on it and flattened the ends a little bit where the bolt goes throught, wiped it with lacquer thinner, primed it and painted it black.

I didn't have a pipe bender or a conduit bender. I just fill it with sand, taped the ends and guesstimated where to bend. Then poured the sand out.
