Help, Soft Top window replacement in Adelaide

Postby Rubber_Sumo » Wed May 27, 2009 5:46 pm

Hey Guys,

The window on my soft top needs replacing and i'm wondering if anyone can recommend a reputable place to get it done in Adelaide? Im hoping i wont need to replace the whole top but i hear you sometimes have to do the whole thing when replacing the window. If anyone knows a place it would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Wilshire Motor Trimmers on South Rd did the labour on replacing mine. They can do a rear plastic window replacement too.

When it happened to me I went to clark rubber for the material as its cheap,

Then take out your softtop and take it to the motor trimmers with the material and say fix!

cost me bugger all, cant remember exact figure...

Oh and dont go to wiltshire they charge through thr ROOF! :roll:

Oils aint oils and the same applies to plastics. If you go to the trimmer you will get the right material. Sub standard plastics deteriorate very quickly because either the material of manufacture is poor quality without UV stabilisers or it is made from regrind. Outdoor furniture can last a very long time made from quality virgin material or not even a season from rubbish regrind pp. If you look at a number of older Holden rear lamps that are leached of colour it relates to poor material choice.
