Hi Guys and Girls,
Advice needed: I have just brought my Mk1 cabriolet and it has a couple of nicks on the edge. I have been shopping around for a new hood and have been quoted £365 for mohair and fitting by car hood in Surrey and £295 in Croydon. I am based in London/Surrey, does anyone know if these are fair prices or should I continue to shop around?
Thanks,
Veronica
p.s, the same nick is on the other side too (see pic)

I will be replacing my hood and while Im at it I'm going to replace the headlining and middle layer too.
It's not included in the hood replacement guide so is there a guide elsewhere for this?
Cheers
Dunc

Please remember to compare like for like as all tops are different.
For comparison our tops have the following spec:
We only use Haartz mohair material because it is the best
Our tops have the heat weld line on each side of the top (not a stitch line like some others)
Our tops have the correct rear edge piping and come with the metal bar inserts which prevent the corners of the top (to the rear of the quarter windows) bowing upwards, once again unlike some other suppliers
72 month guarantee against defects/material failure

Please accept my apologies for not getting on here sooner. I have been busy with work and car ( as usual not enough time when you own a old vw ha ha ha. I had found someone in Croydon ( a lot closer to home) who fits roofs. But please let me thank you for responding on my post.
Thanks
