I didn't need to search that, as I already have a Monsoon Roof. In fact, they use a photo of my car on that page.

If only people would bother to use the site's excellent new search function...

Just wondering what hoods people went with from monsoon, Did you all go for the OEM replacement or did anyone get the Mohair?

It's ok, although it now bangs on the roll hoops, so not perfect.

Most people seem to be using the much cheaper Jack Smiths in Swansea these days (have a search for the thread).

Just to echo this again, I live in Jersey, so it was a trek for me, the hood itself it better than OEM. All bits that tend to rip on OEM have been reinforced. Great service and super friendly. Manged a 3 day break, ferry and hotel for the price my local dealership quoted me.

If I was to have another one I'd be looking at the Jack Smiths one.

My Monsoon has wear marks on and is frayed where the material rubs against itself.
