Hi, apart from the guy in Swansea and Monsoon in Brighton, are there any others, preferably in the Gloucestershire area?

Just drive to Swansea - it's worth it.

There's a guy in Gosport who's supposed to be very good, pricing is between Jack Smiths and Monsoon, can't remember his name but google is your friend.

Or these may be worth a try.-

Youre thinking of ragtops in gosport.

I'm not so sure. Quite a lot if posts about the quality not being brilliant. You get what you pay for it seems.

Quality is excellent, where it needs to be. What you 'lose' is absolutely perfect finishing. Ie it's a tiny bit rough around the edges, with a little bit of glue showing that's easily cleaned up, and one or two of the seams aren't ruler straight, but that doesn't bother me, because the functional workmanship is spot on, and from the outside it looks great too. There have been one or two issues with other, more expensive suppliers too, but with a flexible cloth product that's fitted by hand, there's always going to be the odd problem, but I do know when mine had a tiny issue with one of the corners just catching as it folded, the guys at Jack Smith sorted it in a friendly manner and free of charge. I am a picky bugger though! Not heard anyone else have the same issue.

I´ve got a Monsoon one in red mohair and quality is not very good either!!!

At Ace cafe guy had a red roof from the swansea guy. Under a year old iirc. Had tears in the edging. Had to do some tidying up with threads etc stitching wasn't straight

For me quality workmanship means tight fit, straight lines, clean and tidy.

I love the idea of a red roof on my BBlack. I really likes the look of red roof on the car at ace cafe. I cancelled my booking at swansea to have more time to search, my roof is functional as is and have hardtop on atm.

How so?

See this puts me off using Jack.

Oh sorry, it might be ok when you have yours done. I couldnt afford the time to return, if the roof needed to be finished correctly another time.
