AFTER MARKET SOFT TOP

[Cggennis]

Has anyone given the eBay soft tops a go? I need a new soft top but not looking to spend £1000 on mohair and fitment so I’m wondering what the eBay alibaba tops are like. Any advice? Thank you

Jack Smith in Swansea, not sure on cost but loads of members have used him.

I’m sure Jack Smiths can do the full replacement for less than £500, as long as you can get to Swansea.

About a 1/3 of that amount from Swansea. Loads of members have used his services. A few months wait time as he's always busy, and that says it all.

Morethantops ion eBay do a vinyl one which is very low cost but also a canvas one that's under £500 you fit yourself, has relief pockets, anyone tried them?

I bought one via etsy. Was £179 ish with free shipping to the UK. Got hit with customs around 50 quid though.

The material is burgundy twill weave. The material looks good and tough. Thing I'm not happy with is the rear window is bonded in. Not zipped or stiched. Doesn't look nice.

But you get what you pay for.

But I'm planning to fit it myself. I like doing stuff myself. Didn't want to waste 'too' much money when I balls it up.

That canvas one actually looks good, not sure I would trust myself to fit it though.

Neither do the majority of other hood suppliers.
