Jon T Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Hey guys I am asking on behalf of a customer. He has a JDM Roadster. The soft top fabric has worn/cracked etc like they do. What is the done thing with these soft tops please? Do we have a guy who repairs them? Like with the Honda S2000. Or do we have a reliable sensible source of new hoods in the UK? Thanks very much.

Willsy1980 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I think there is a guy in Swansea who does replacements fitted for about £300 ? https://www.facebook.com/JackRSmithMotorTrimmers/ There is a review from an S2000 owner who got one done for £290 Worth a try, let me know what he quotes as im looking to get mine done too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floydbax Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 It depends how anal you are about it. Mine is a wreck, if I was going to sell up then I'd get a new one fitted but it doesn't bother me being tatty as it's up when it's wet and down pretty much all the rest of the time. I have used https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00X597F0G/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=32B70XP4Z9FZG&coliid=I1JR9WOBFZ0B32 either side of a pinhole or tear along with https://www.amazon.co.uk/Highlander-rt100-Stormseal-Adhesive-Clear/dp/B003YLEOR2/ref=pd_ys_c_rfy_1938353031_26?ie=UTF8&refRID=ET58P3SACX1GK660T8S4 this sandwiched inbetween. Works OK although I have to replace the side bits occasionally as the opening/closing creases the patch and it's so sticky it sticks to itself.
