All,

HI I am new to the forum, I am wondering where I would find a roof repair shop in Melbourne good at fixin S2K roofs.

Mine is an 01 which doesnt look like it has been taken care of by the previous owner and has some dodgy repair jobs on it. Need to get it sorted before winter settles in..!!!

Advice is muchly appreciated.

I recently changed my roof, on my 01, to a glass robbins top. My OEM roof is 100% perfect on the vinyl has been treated since new with Mothers protectant, and the window is in very good condition, cleaned with Mothers Plastic Cleaner. I will be posting it on ebay, if you want it let me know.

heres the damage, seems to be on the folding point.

When I bought the car it originally had a bit of noise when on the freeway, I replaced the striker assembly (the braket which connects the roof to the top of the windscreen). The noise is all gone, just creeping through these areas at the corner of the roof.

you can get them from

direct. I just went to the spares department and had the salesperson look the part up and order.
I think the part number is the same for left and right, so you need to order 2..

I got the parts from

in two days, took about 20 min to replace, only 2 bolts on each striker assy. You have to remove the interior moulding which the interior light is connected to get it off, obviously put the roof down too

Price from

without any discount was about $170-190

I did see hardtopguy.com sells them also, but the delivery times would be quite a bit longer. They were US $49 each i think.

I must say it was quite suprising how much difference this had on the road noise. Before I had my radio(standard) distorting so I could hear it and now its crystal..!!
