Convertible roof fitters....

Anyone know of a good roof fitter

i rang a guy from Ebay to quote me on a blue Mohair roof, he's based in Croydon and said if i take car to him it'll cost £295 supplied and fitted, if he comes to me and fit mobile its an additional £45. I then rang a guy from the MK1 Owners Website and he quoted me £420 supplied and fitted, but he had a few people moaning about the roof sagging on the corners.

I took mine to that guy in Croydon last March, he supplied a mohair roof and fitted in less than the time it took to walk to a pub have a couple of bevvys and lunch and a mooch about a few shops.
He was only a backstreet garage working on 2 to 3 cars at a time, but hes highly recommended.

you know that the roof will not come with a rear metal frame (at least i don't think so)

so they will reuse yours!

i know, i've posted on every site i know looking for a new metal frame.....looks like i'll be spending £150 at CrazyQuifs at this rate

found a guy in Burwell that does roofs and upholstery, yet to get a price so i'll keep you posted. He's called P & M Taylor, phone number 01638 741776

Good work that man...

Know what you mean about soggy interior... havnt been near the new car since we got it, the wife opened it up yesterday and said it was as 'musty as ya nan'..( which wasnt very nice to my nan )...

Really need to patch it up with something asap before it rots everything away

I would avoid this company at all costs personally! I had him replace my mk1 roof and headliner, the outside was ok tbh (nothing stood out as amazing or bad, it is still working and looking ok, it was a mohair one) but he fucked up the inside somehow and all the seams split within a few weeks. I took it back to him and he begrudgingly repaired it badly!! it was supposed to be a perfect new roof but he sewed the liner up by hand and all wonky! it looked s**t so I again complained, this time he replaced the liner but when I picked it up it had loads gluey fingerprints and dirty marks all over it! I pointed this out to him and was pretty much told to f**k off! he would not sort it out. So I'd paid him 900 quid and still got a s**t looking roof lining. The most annoying thing is that my original lining wasn't ripped or anything it was just dirty and I wanted a nice clean one. Just really bad customer service.
