How much should a fitted new roof cost for a cabrio rivage , anyone know of a company that do them in Lancashire ?

cheers

I got mine done at CJ auto trim £400 all (2 years ago).  however it maybe worth spending extra and getting the padding off chortle and get it done at same time

Rivage depending on colour should be a mohair.
Blue on blue, black on green.
No difference for fitting on any model car.
You could do a hood replacement yourself for a little over £200. It depends on what else may need doing.
For example interliner and top pad, if these are worn thin etc.
Also headliner too.
On my Rivage the headliner is mint but the pad and top are going to be changed.
Just waiting for better weather.

I believe DB car trimmers in Blackpool have a good reputation.
Have a ring round as some companies will come out to you.

Be interesting to know what the costs are.
For complete redo of the whole lot inc interliner top pad and a headliner.

cheers i sent them an email

Last time I rang DB, a couple of years ago, he told me that he'd retired.

If you're doing he hood, and can afford it, get it all done at once. Yes it is expensive but if you look after it, it'll give you years of service - especially a mohair one.

Get an interliner and pad kit from chortle because it'll give a much better finish. I speak from experience here. I went without at first when I refit my outer hood last year but once the liner and pad were fited it looked much better.

Buy with confidence from chortle!!!  8)

yeah they dont fit them any more, do you fit them chortle or do you just supply ?

I used Northern Car Hoods about 3 years ago, they came to me and it was about £500 all in for black mohair.

good to know the prices i'm contemplating breaking my project cabby now i have finished it my roof is mint (not mohair)

Got mine from carhood warehouse two years ago for
£170 delivered.but not a mohair one.as people have said there are  good
deals out there the number for carhood warehouse is 020839 15326.

Thanks chortle for the quick reply to the pm .And thank you for the info.

Guys,

If you do it yourself, how hard is it to do and is it difficult to fit the window and frame please?

Depends in what your changing?

You could do a interliner pad and hood in a day with an early start, late finish.

The rear window is okay once you put the hood on znd close it down.
Then it's a case of cutting the hole out and stapling the material in place and then re fitting the window using para chord, remember to seal the outer seal too.

Thanks Carl!

I've called CHWarehouse, and they can do it for £425 and come to me in Norfolk, which I thought was respectable.

Costing in how much my days wages would be, and the fact they have all the right tools, plus the parts and it's gauranteed, I thought they may as well do it, given thier great reputation.

How much are your top pads please just out of interest?
