MonkeyShoulder

Hello all

I need to replace the soft top which at the moment has three tears, one each where the latch meets the soft top, and one on the rear left shoulder. I've been patching them up over the past year but fear I'm fighting a losing battle.

So my question is where / who to go to? Many threads say Jack Smiths in Swansea, but I've tried ringing him on numerous occasions but never get an answer. His Facebook page suggests he is closed?! I've found another thread which suggests he trades under Raymond Pugh Ltd, but same tel number and no answer. I'd happily use him as I've heard many good things, but not being able to contact him is a bit of a hindrance. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Failing the above, does anyone recommend anywhere else? Monsoon Hoods?

I'm in Cardiff but am willing to travel to get this sorted.

Many thanks.
Happy top down driving.

Worth a drive over for the fun of it? Cardiff to Swansea M4, I have to drive that far to get to a decent shopping center. Give it a couple of weeks he could be on his hols, off fighting ISIL.

Keep trying him, I drove down from Aberdeen for a long weekend and I cant fault the roof for £300. Look amazing and now it's not as tight I love it. No more water in the boot and even the wet shoulder is gone. As you are nice and close just drive over and visit if he still doesn't answer

£300!? Was that for a Mohair or a "Twillweave" or whatever Honda call it!? Cheapest Mohair I could find fitted was £750 anywhere!

Mohair! £300 fitted and I gave him my glass which had some heating elements not working and now its perfect.

Still worked out cheaper driving down and back from Aberdeen, glad I made that decision!

Jesus... I need to get myself booked in!

harryhendo

Indeed you do If I was close like you I would have done this years ago haha!

Harry have you got any contact details please mate? Any that aren't publicly available anyway seeing as this chap seems hard to get hold of..!

Did you swap your screen or did he fix it? I'm booked in for next week and I'm now concerned my hood is going to be made with your faulty screen.

01792461022 - thats what i have in my phone.
he swapped it out as he has to glue it in 24 hours before fitting it... he checks all the glass before they go in so might have got rid of mine, although think it was just 1 that didn't work right at the bottom though!
