03-04 Roof

I d'ont think you will be able to swap ur 1997-2002 top parts with the 2003-2004 roof.
2003-2004 are a different design with one more brace and glass rear window.
Good luck.

You should be able to swap that particular part out. the difference between the 97-02 vs 03-04 was an addition of a 4th bow that was used to allow for a larger glass window..

Absolutely not true. The 03-04 roof is a bolt-on on the MY2000. Without broken parts, of course.

your part looks like

OEM-9865614430070C 150$

Go to pelican parts and look it up, the diagram will make more sense to you because you can see exactly where the part is.

How about getting it welded back together?

Thanks for the replies.
I don't think welding is an option as the parts don't sit nicely together so there may of been some twisting before the break.
The second part number I don't think is the one I require as looking at this page,
Pelican parts
Part number 23 is the one on my car now and the one the breaker has sent me. The part I require is much smaller - about the size of the palm of my hand and woudl replace this part along with the other small piece.
That diagram is the same as the one I have. Does anyone know of an exploded diagram for the later roof please?
Thanks again.

I know it will fit, if it is complete whithout broken parts, but his problem is that he received it broken

both people are correct....

The roof system will bolt up to MY 99-04 but the most parts are not interchangeable between MY99-2002 and MY 2003-04
