Default S2000 Soft Top Replacement (Robbins)

Unfortunately my soft-top just ripped in the back right corner (had already been patched underneath) - 15 years, not too bad.

I will be replacing with a Robbins Cloth top for improvement. Probably installing myself over winter to save 50%. Are there any group buys for Robbin tops or does anyone know the best place to get one?
I've heard of people getting them for $500-600, however, in my quick searching I've only seen ~$700

Robbins has gone up a bit over the past few years. Sierra is a good alternative if you want to save a bit.

I just received my new Robbins canvas top on Saturday. I got it from Vic at topsonline. He said that they used to give us a pretty good discount, but don't do that anymore. He did, however, sell it to me for $700 out the door... including shipping.

FYI, whatever you decide to go with, recommend removing any sharp edges/burs. Most will wear in the top rear corner of the passenger side, known issue for all years and a Honda Service Bulletin was issued in May 2009.

Best to you

Call Vic at www.topsonline.com to get the best price on the top and shipping. Mention you're a member of S2KI to get the absolute best deal.

No way! I wouldn't dare try something like that. There is an approved (through the vendor) installer in my city though. I have an appointment on the 15th.

Where do you live? Perhaps get some member experience with this installer. Roof installs are complex.
