cabrio replacement hood
Hello!
This is my first post on this and in fact any forum. I have just acquired a '92 Rivage, which is in generally good nick, but really needs a new mohair hood. I have enquired at my VW dealer, to be told it will cost >?1000. I know there are cheaper alternatives, which I would like to go for, BUT whilst cheap makes me happy, nasty certainly doesn't! can anyone advise - is it possible to get good (VW style)quality at reasonable cost?
I don't want to DIY and I live in Kendal, Cumbria - any tips greatfully received
Cheers
Edward
PS thanks to Drew for this great site!!

Hello Edward,
Welcome to the forum, glad you joined us. As I recall we have a member who has just written up a document on hood replacement and I'm supposed to have uploaded it by now… ops:
Stay tuned and I'll get the 'downloads' section online!
Cheers,
Drew.

thanks prowler - v reassuring. I have emailed car hood warehouse for a quote, though I guess they may not provide a service as far north as Cumbria.

Have you tried Car hoods northern? 01925759800, might be worth a try! If and when you do get a hood, let us know the quality (good or bad) Might save someone else some time and money! Cheers....Walt!
