However just behind the back side of the door (where the b pillar would be) there is this little tab (on either side) that did not seem to have anywhere to live. Any way it just kind of sticks out a bit now, np with waterproofing etc and it looks ok but when the roof is down they "fold back". Ill take a photo of it, maybe someone will know what I was supposed to do with them, how they are supposed to look and can help me out.

It is like duct tape but leaves no residue, and comes in a matte black color that matches the soft top material well. What I did was basically feel across all of the frame parts and whenever I felt a sharp pertrusion or burr, I would cover it up with the tape. My top also has a wear spot at the typical spot but hasn't developed into a hole yet, so I taped over that too.

The reason I went with this is because I wasn't interested in anything that would leave a residue on the top or the frame. I also wasn't interested in any sort of thick shim. The great thing about this tape is that if it ever wears its as easy as taking the tape off and putting new ones on. I bought 1 inch diameter tape and that is wide enough. Only downside is that the tape is somewhat of a specialty tape used in photography and staging so depending on your area it could be difficult to find locally and it is also a bit pricey. My roll of tape was somewhere around $20USD.

I am extremely happy with the roof and its fitment but I must say, I guess it comes down to where you get it done. I took mine to Gary Blackmans in Richmond just off Swan st, and I must say, from the friendly service to the overall job, I am very pleased. Gary is such a gentlemen and I felt really looked after from the moment go. He has a guy by the name of Steve who is equally as nice because when I dropped off the car on Tuesday morning, he ran me through exactly what would take place and I stated that my car had just had a fresh paint and they did they're absolute best to not mark the car whatsoever.

I took photos on my iPhone the day before it went in just after a wash, so I will post these photos in the coming days and I was able to go back during my day on Monday with my car stripped and also took some photos. I noticed that everything was done very neatly and professionally which made me put a lot more trust within they're hands because anyone who knows me personally, knows best that I am very fussy with my car, where I park it, how I wash it etc. I am extremely paranoid about leaving the car at shops but this thought did not even strike me when I dropped off my car. I noticed that surrounding my car was a Rolls Royce a Porsche 911 and boxter and a few other classics bring restored. The only issue we came across was the actual defroster itself. Gary rang me telling me that when I received my roof, I didn’t receive a switch and for the auto elec to supply a Genuine switch would cost %100 + the wiring itself which he quoted me $220. I am going to source an OEM switch myself and return the car in the coming weeks to complete the job. Total installation to date cost me %770 inc GST.

I am sorry if this really starts to sound like a free promotion to him, but I am the type of person who gives credit when credit is due. I can honestly say it has been an absolute pleasure to deal with them and highly recommend him to others who might be looking at doing this upgrade.

Stay posted for the photos which I should have done by Friday.
