I do


Excellent write up M, I'm sure I'll find it useful when we come to do mine. Do you fancy some visitors - looks like you've got a nice area to work in

Would be interested to know where/how much for the hood (PM if you don't want to put on site).

Looks like it would be a good time to replace my carpet too.

I'd be interested to know the cost as well. Got to do mine at some point. Had quotes of 800-ish for full roof assy so be interesting to know what kind of saving I'm looking at

Nice write up - maybe you should amend the bit about the roll hoops though that other people have mentioned later in the post?

Can you not get the bits/wiring from a breaker to make the heated screen work?

Note that the roof is *much* more difficult to fit if you have to remove it from the roof frame.

If your car is already setup with a hardtop it is easy to wire the the new roof into the existing wiring.
