Soft tops

Post by Pishadeperro » Sat Jan 07, 2017 6:33 pm

I've read on the forum other posts regarding soft tops and where to get new ones but it didn't help as I received no replays from the advised manufacturers so has anyone else had one made or managed to buy one, I need the top and both doors as mine are in a poor state....could do with a couple of steel doors if anyone has any for sale

Soft top: The only company making them is Master Covers. They've made 3 tops for me over the years & repaired a couple. The also trimmed a pair of soft door frames. Very nice work.
Speak to Debbie 02392 374739 & tell her Yankee Joe sent you.

Thanks very much for your help, I've contact Mastercovers and the price they've quoted seems very reasonable. Debbie is sending some fabric samples so I can decided before ordering.....thanks again for your help

Out of interest how much was a new soft top? And post up some pics when it's on!
If it ticks over...leave it

£640 for the top and £210 each door, they are posting me some samples so I can choose the fabric and colour, prices are inclusive of vat but I've still to ask them if they need the car to fit the top...I hope not as they are miles away from me but they haven't mentioned any postage cost so I need the check before placing the order but the costs seem very reasonable

If and when I go ahead I'll have the original to dispose off....top is sound just a little old and grey, doors are a little ropey though

Haha, a new roof for mine is £500ish, heard feedback on them and they're rubbish.

On the last outing I tore the roof around the windows, so I refuse to replace!
