This is the only pic I have so far. Hood includes glass screen on an exchange basis so not sure what happens if you don't have a glass screen already

Word of warning. If you are having your roof replaced and you have rear speakers in the head rests, take them out. Having my head rest speakers in place meant the install took a couple of hours longer than normal. Also make sure you have cash

Why would having rear speakers increase the install time?

looks great that

can you take close ups where the roof meets the doors on each side? (common area of wear)

He said it's because during the install he has to reach through the roll hoop at times to fit the roof
I thought it was a little odd he said that, but it certainly took him longer than 3hrs to install my roof.

I've been needing a new roof for a while now and been thinking about using these guys. Is there a big waiting list? I would only be able to go on the weeknd so that may make the wait longer

I'm in the same position.
My bro in law used carhood warehouse and was very impressed as was I. They charge £725


Jack smiths are 2.5 hours away but only charge 300ish but unsure of the quality tbh

Is it my imagination or is the screen in that picture very small?
