Genuine New Roof needed for Mk I convertible

[gordymatt]

Guys,

Anyone able to tell me where I can get a new hood fitted for Mk I golf convertible and at what cost?

In Brisbane, but would travel if necessary?

What amount should i allow for this? Also, if electric motor not working, where could I get one fitted?

Many thanks

Its hard to get a new roof, when the previous owner did the new roof on mine, he had to look overseas and that cost him around $1500 for the new roof delivered

Did you get my PM before?

surly you can ship one for less than 1500!!!!

Quite possibly, I just quoted what the guy told me back in December he wasn't phased aabout it though when he said it.

my mate got one from US ebay. Cost him under $500 delivered from memory. Seemed nice quality and was a DIY fit

the above company in US is where I got my OEM roof from (MTM)

I think I paid about $1250 all up for parts and installation. Make sure you get the kit with cables.

Try All Car Interiors at Windsor for the fit-out. They did my car and it came up great. He has apparently done a few.
