Hello everyone.
Any recommendations for a replacement mohair roof? I'm in Buckinghamshire.
Thanks for any help in advance.

I'm in Derby so a bit far for you, maybe.

Hi,
I used Car Hood Warehouse in Chessington /Kingston upon Thames, they were very good.:thumbs:

Derby is a bit of a trek ha ha. Thanks for reply though.
Car Hood Warehouse are only 45 mins from me and only £550 fitted on the website. How is the fit and finish on your roof? I'm guessing spot on as you wouldn't of recommended them😬

Mine was done 10 years ago and its still spot on, I paid a bit more than that, because I had a new window frame and seal put in at the same time. Going from personal experience, can't recommend them highly enough.


Here it is after 10 years…..

That's the problem, rear window frames expensive, plus it depends on the state of the interliner and top pad, these need to be changed really as part of a good fit. Also if the headliner is ripped now is the time to change that as all the fixings are underneath.
So the costs can soon creep up. I'd be asking what the price would be if you needed a new rear window frame etc.

10yrs on that looks spot on. Helios blue same as mine. Yeah mines been off the road dry stored for 16yrs kept changing mind on engine swap. So fingers crossed rear window frame is ok. Headliners fine so hopefully price shouldn't be far off £550. Appreciate your recommendation.
