Thumbs down My Soft top was slashed and frame bent to shit

Well fellas I woke up to this, I filed a police report and have an appointment with a GEICO adjuster on Monday. The did not steal anything, (must of gotten spooked) but they did use some type of crow bar and bent the shit out of the frame, used what looks like a hacksaw marks too??/

Anyway How much is the soft top cloth, as well as the frame + labor? Anyone have their soft top frame mangled by a low life thief as well?

Go get a robbins top, and ask some of the guys who part out salvaged S2ks for a frame, or a frame and top. Robbin's tops are great btw ive had mine for 2 years.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I got a replacement frame etc. from a wrecked car.
New top material: http://www.topsonline.com, for Black HV Denim $451.00 or Black Stayfast Cloth $511.00 (made by EZ ON)
Also search eBay for "s2000 convertible top", at the moment there are over 50 available now. Some for $459.0 Buy It Now.
btw, when you get your new frame, do the file/sand/paint fix on the frame so it doesn't rip your top in the future...it's a known fault. Best of luck.
