Bl00dy b@sts@rds!!
Sorry to hear that adam... what area did it happen in??

with regards to the prestige stuff, i've seen Vu's roof and it looks like a really neat fit.. I almost bought one too..

The only thing i was panicky about was wanting a glass window and was concerned about it getting smashed during freight. sure enough they'd prob replace it but its all the hassles that go with it.

Robbins is another brand of convertible tops, American I think?

I live down south westish, at Clarence Gardens near Unley/Pasadena/Edwardstown etc.

Probably worth checking what sort of condition your current rain rail is in. The ones on ebay don't come with one. It could end up costing you more in the long run buying a new rain rail and getting the thnig water tight. Mine came with an ebay roof but they didnt properly attach the rain rail (which was busted anyway) and all the water on the outside of the car came inside the car. Ended up buying a new rain rail (they're not cheap either) and doing it myself. My 2 c.

its stops water from going into the car. All the water on the roof drains down into this u-shaped cup (rain rail) and then drains down the 2 holes behind the seats. It collects all the water and stops it from going into the car. If it is broken or damaged it can be a biatch to repair.

Mine with the Robbins roof installed. Even came with the rainrail fitted, the straps and directions for the bow modification, and all the holes punched in the right places. Very nice kit, and very easy to do.

Where i ended up getting mine from. Was just under $700 AUD delivered to the door using Express post, in just under a week for the Glass + Demister version.

Wow, good stuff ArJuna...looks better than OEM. I like the fact it is one piece around the glass. The rear looks very tight as well...nice

Is that Vinyl?....looks like cloth to me.

sometimes its also cheaper if you purcahse a NB model roof already on the frame.. you can install it yourself and save heaps of money getting someone to remove your old top and put the new one on..

just my 2cents..

I'd be more inclined to go with one that has the rain rail as well if I were to ever order again.

Adam if your roof is ok otherwise apart from the slash maybe have an auto trimmer quote a repair/patch job/vinyl weld job. Wilshire Autotrimmers on South Rd have a good reputation (bit expensive though), they did the install of my Prestige top.

Anyway I'll talk to ya about it when I see ya.

So thats plus 1 for the Prestigious owners

I quite like the auto sparkies at Warren Wilson Auto Electrics, 92 Daws Rd. They did my A/C & fixed a horn problem for me, quite happy.

Are you installing the top yourself though? dodgy at your place
