I'm intrested as i'm buying one very shortly and as i live in the UK will only deal with them if they have a good Rep.



I take it you would recomend Robbins? Do they fit well? (Good quality?)

I would recommend Robbins, the quality is there, but the fit is only as good as the person installing it. I can't say about the vinyl replacement, but the cloth goes back in extra tight, it's really hard to get the top closed when it's brand new. I would leave it closed and put it in the sun for a few days, if possible, to get it stretched out a little.

if you live where it rains alot then get the vinyl top, get it local, my local guy only charged me like $300-$400 more then what the top would have cost me by itself, its not a easy install either, expect to pay between $850-$1200 depending on where you live and how much they feel like charging you



any shop can get a robbins top- let them make a little on the top so they give you a brake on the install

Well i have just been qouted about $990 (£550) thats without fitting it / postage. They would want another $360 (£200) to fit it. So i would end up with a grand total of $1350 fitted. I am Thinking of buying a Hood and getting a Guy i work with to Fit it for me (I work in a Body shop)
