Default New roof - cheap but fantastic!

I went down to Jack Smiths trimmers of Swansea the other day, to have a new roof fitted, it took him 4 hours to fit (I sent the rear glass down from my original roof a few days before so he could glue it in before I arrived) and the results are superb.

Ooops sorry, Mohair and £260 and yeah Patrick finally black and rid of that horrid blue roof, the black looks so good against the black tyres with the blue running through the middle, I just got to hope and pray that it is waterproof now UF

I'm almost 100% sure you've cured the leak Paul I reckon it will be nice and quiet with the roof up now too - no wind noise at all.

Looks very good. This guy is a blessing for us lot, what a price! I reckon one more winter with mine before I replace it, already got a little crack in plastic screen from taking it up and down in winter. At this price the roof is a consumable and not worth worrying about.

Yours looks much better with a black roof. Question for you, is it smooth or does it have a slight 'fuzz' to it?

haha yeah hopefully watertight, talking about no wind noise wow the roof is tight to close, I guess the material being so new .... I don't ever remember my original roof being that tight, even when it was new!

£260! That's a steal. I guess you have to supply your own glass window, did you just cut it out? My roof is looking pretty sorry for itself, so I'm very interested in this.
