So you have to source it yourself?
I am sure they can supply but I had already bought mine,so it was fit only.

They have done a couple of mates window replacements and have done a fabulous job.

Thats a bit disappointing as Olmypus recently quoted $380 to to remove a top, put in a new window and refit, which would involve more work than you got done.

Perhaps they were wary of the top you were supplying as it always seems that the fitter gets the blame and quoted high?

You shouldn't have slack really, perhaps a slack supplier or installer or a bit of both?

I have had a couple of tops fitted over the years and one was a pretty ordinary top and if it is or the fitter doesn't follow the correct tightening sequence you end up with creases where you described.

After a while I learned to live with my imperfections and as any true MX follower will attest you don't have the top up much!!!

Hope it works out well for you,

Peter.

if the top is not sufficiently taut in all places the fitter I am sure would take another look at it to see if any adjustments are possible. If there is a problem in the pattern it might not be rectifiable.
