Where is the best place to get a Mohair replacement roof? I would also like it fitted if possible. How much am I looking at?

Thanks,

You can get a fabric roof for £200ish delivered but it's the fitting that costs loads. Try it yourself

I was lucky because I got mine for about £188 from a german Ebay seller and then had a local person fit it for £100. I think my £288 is about as cheap as it gets. Could be around £600 for a supply and fit. I would shop around.

How long does it take to fit? I don't know if I can be assed.

3-4 hours it's fiddly but worth it. Some places charge for all day

Hmmm I have a few jobs already; Central locking issues, wet underneath mats, brakes, backbox etc.

Plus 1 on the list then

Many here have had them fitted and supply and fit is normally £5-600 there are places that also advertise original fiat mohair roof.....Fiat never made a mohair roof so talking sh*t and usually made in a local sewing factory. As are the ebay ones but much cheaper.

Yeah I guessed that. Thanks for the heads up. I have looked at http://www.autohides.co.uk/

Mine was supplied and fitted (just before I bought the car), for £485 (mohair) by car hoods direct in Kent. The hood is just over 18 months old and apart from a few 'pulls' that a local cat has made in the fabric the hood and window are still like new.

I have met quite a few people who have used them on a number of different cars, everyone I know has had a good experience with them and has been happy with the end result.

Take a look for yourself and give them a call for a fitted price, supply only is £235 + VAT

They're the same company as the one I was on about mate! Thanks.

Job done then!!

Is there a 'how to' guide?

Yes.

LOL, where?

You want me to fit it as well

On the main Barchetta page top right corner above the main threads "Search this forum"

Should have made it a race.....

Yeah, but if the author had done a proper job it would be in the guides section!

I would have won the race, just! Thanks for that, how much do you charge for fitting?

Unfortunately I'm just after a back opperation and been told not to mess with cars for a few months yet phew!

And Lee is correct it should be in the guides section......sm@rt @r$e

Honestly it's not that difficult, just fiddly when glueing the front section other than that it's pretty straight forward

The only thing that puts me off is the time constraint.
