Softtop NA Roof (VIC HELP)

Postby RYUna5 » Fri Jun 26, 2015 8:56 pm

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows/can recommend any cheap soft top installers (yes even you forumites or backyarders) that can fit a soft top? (IN VIC PLS)
I have been calling around everywhere and the prices vary so much!
I sourced a soft top from brizzy thanks to mx5cartalk forum
wondering if someone can help >.<

Usually about six hours of labour involved for one person to remove & replace the soft-top skin, so expect to pay about $500 depending on the labour per hour charged by where ever it's done.

thanks for replying,
you're a champ.

yeah my lowest quotes were about the $500 mark, so i decided to get new pretty much everything ready for the roof, tensioners rainrail etc.

There are guides, & it's not hard to do if you're prepared & give yourself the weekend to do it in: http://www.miata.net/garage/garagetops.html
