Danhock, there are a couple of links way back in the forums, expect to pay about ?400 odd with frame on your car being reused.

Get searching the archives-as I remember I think there is place in Swansea that does them??? Good luck.....

Hiya, I'm new to this, so hello.

I have just bought an outer cover to a soft top on Ebay, ?75 squid....... they are slight seconds... but hey.. if it stops the leaks in my car, and I can drive to work without getting a wet bum, I'll be a happy camper!

I came on here to see if anyone knew how I could fit it.... but then I saw your request.

Hope it help.

I think Adam had the same problem?

Hope this works... this is the Ebay link to the ?75.00 hood outer cover.

I did ask what the faults were, and I have just gone to check my mail, but like a dozy tart.. I've deleted it!  She said somthing about welts..... dunno what they are, but I thought for 75 quid, it would do the job.

I have asked a freind if they are easy to fit... apparently it's abit tricky.  There is no window hole cut into the cover, and this has to be done.... so I'm having 2nd thoughts about having a bash at it myself.
