Has anyone used Sydney Motor Trimmers to install a NA soft top? And if so, what was your experience? Cheers.

He's got the installation of genuine ones down to fine art now, it's just the eBay ones that bring on the "magic words".

The end result seems fine - they're just more fiddly to install. The factory ones come with everything you need, the eBay ones don't (tension cables in particular), the rivets they supply are useless, mounting holes are missing or misaligned, etc.
They do go on, but they're a lot more work than the factory ones.
We've got a Robbins roof on order for a customer too, so it'll be interesting to see what they're like to install.

Bugger! Guess what I just bought? Any idea what the cost for installation is?

They reopened on the 8th Jan.

AMR in Petersham quoted me $315 to install the top. It's just gone in so I can't give any feedback as yet about the quality of the job.
