true, not something you should rush through doing.....so will take my time...not rushin this, just wouldnt mind finding info on best way to remove old roof, then reverse engineer it from that....

All found out info from topsonline. they have two different roof types...below is from their customer service people...

the HV Denim is the same exact material used on Honda from factory, the stayfast canvas is more cotton base and feels little more like cloth material, it's the same material used on BMW, Mercedes & Corvette tops.

I will be going for the stayfast canvass type, will show pics when i get it done. few weeks away from doing it tho

well some kind soul decided my plastic window looked better with a nice 10cm slash through the middle of it so i'll be joining you in a few weeks when i get sum $$$.

Convinced the old man to help with the install as he's pretty good with this type of thing. not looking forward to flying spanners when something goes wrong though :P

Doesn't your insurance cover you, for that type of damage?

**1337droptop** · 22-05-2007 01:48 PM

sure but i'm thinking the excess is too high to bother

from what i have found, if you do the replacment yourself, it will be just under $1000. The two different fabrics topsonline offer are about $50 dollars different.

The stayfast type is the more expensive one. I am waiting on a response from them on the difference in weight and this fabric could possibly be thicker and rub against the frame of the car when you put the roof down....not wanting that with a new roof...

I will be ordering mine within the week, will advise if there are any differnces in the two fabric weoghts etc etc....

Anyone with experience wanna assist..?
