Default New soft top

I'm considering a new soft top and wondered about pricing and where to purchase/ potential places that install. Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm new to the group.

It's asked every week but don't worry.

Installation of a new roof is critical and bungled jobs often result in flooding the trunk of the car every time it rains or you wash the car. Really the job of a S2000 roof specialist not the local convertible shop. The Robbins cloth roof is very nice and looks better than the OEM in my opinion (and is what's now on my 2006 car). Easy enough to find a price for these on line. Local recommendations for installation are vital. Group installs are getting popular where a group will bring in an expert and do several over a weekend. I'd budget US$1500 at a minimum until you can source an installer. The roof itself seems to run about $1000.

If you were on the East Coast I would say come to me and I will put it in.

When you can PM me with a message and I will connect you with an installer in CA. I will have to look up what city he is in but 100% the guy to go see. He helped me as I was getting stated installing and had done well over 100 by this point just a question of how many hundreds is more likely.
