Replace or Repair 350z Soft Top Fabric

[Jon T]

Hey guys

 

I am asking on behalf of a customer.

 

He has a JDM Roadster. The soft top fabric has worn/cracked etc like they do.

 

What is the done thing with these soft tops please?

 

Do we have a guy who repairs them? Like with the Honda S2000.

 

Or do we have a reliable sensible source of new hoods in the UK?

 

Thanks very much.

I think there is a guy in Swansea who does replacements fitted for about £300 ? https://www.facebook.com/JackRSmithMotorTrimmers/ There is a review from an S2000 owner who got one done for £290

Worth a try, let me know what he quotes as im looking to get mine done too

It depends how anal you are about it. Mine is a wreck, if I was going to sell up then I'd get a new one fitted but it doesn't bother me being tatty as it's up when it's wet and down pretty much all the rest of the time. I have used https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00X597F0G/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=32B70XP4Z9FZG&coliid=I1JR9WOBFZ0B32 either side of a pinhole or tear along with https://www.amazon.co.uk/Highlander-rt100-Stormseal-Adhesive-Clear/dp/B003YLEOR2/ref=pd_ys_c_rfy_1938353031_26?ie=UTF8&refRID=ET58P3SACX1GK660T8S4 this sandwiched inbetween. Works OK although I have to replace the side bits occasionally as the opening/closing creases the patch and it's so sticky it sticks to itself.

Thanks guys - I'll pass this info on to my customer!
