Floydbax Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Just contacted Jack Smith in Swansea and he no longer will replace 350Z roofs as he said they are a pain and prefers not to do them. Boooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 We've found a place in Garden City on Deeside that will do ours for £675, having it done late July. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveM27 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I was hoping to get hood repaired on 57 plate - split by hood joints - but having seen the photos I am now going to go for new Mohair one! Would be grateful if anyone could recommend a good company to supply and fit in Midlands or North West. Or any reviews on "The Soft Top Shop" in Stockport; "Autotrimmer" in Milton Keynes; or "Car Hoods Northern", Lymm. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 If you want a proper job then a new hood is required I am afraid, however, if you are not fussed about appearance then it could be patched over, but it will not be pretty. Best to get a new Mohair IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you Poss recommend a strong adhesive to stick the corners down? thanks Yas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 You could try Aquasure. it is a waterproof Urethane Adhesive and works well. Any repair will not be pretty but this stuff is very effective. Give it a go and let us know how you get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willieo Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Just did mine. Must have taken me about 8 hours. I have burgundy mohair on silver grey car now and it looks the business and goes up and down smoothly. Mazda Hood store supplied it. I watched the YouTube video many times and also found the Nissan instructions. One nasty problem encountered was both side tension wires broken at the front A pillar end and corrosion at the point this secures on one side. I guess at 15 years old it was letting damp in. I found a work around to fix that. I have the old one for the tip unless I should save the rear window for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
