[andysat]

Top job! do they use oem fabric?

 

[jsing]

Wow !! looks top knotch !

 

[ben g]

Looks great. Would've definitely gone red though!

ooooh looks perdy!
I don't see any fold creases in the material yet, have you had the roof down since you had it done??
That's exactly how mine looked 2 years ago, now its got shiny bits in the fabric where it folds all because I've been having fun!

Yes well im getting a cover that fits just over the roof and windows this winter and then building a car port after my june holiday next year and then she will be only used in the summer or dry by next winter as will have a daily driver by then, thats the plan.

I'd recommend the Cabrioshield one.

I don't think I've ever seen a rag top over about a year old without the fold marks. I dare say the only way of stopping them is by never putting the roof down - but, if you're going to do that, you might as well buy a coupe...

TBH this is what I pointed out in Jonny's other thread. Personal opinion I would rather spend £900 on something else. I'm sure you could find a pro that could bring the original back to factory.

Can't believe you binned the original one though Jonny

 

[Rusky]

Looks very smart and worth the effort

 

[markeg]

Could've used the old one as a cover, stop the new one getting wet , sun-bleached etc :lol:

 

[Rusky]

Well Jonny I think if you can you should and its looking good so far

 

[DPG]

V. nice, did you not fancy a different colour?

There is a silver Z3 near me with a red roof and that looks cool.

 

[a340driver]

Looks really nice Mr e! How long did they have the car for? Great car, just get rid of that sodding magic tree!!!

"I autoglym carbriolet clean it and renovo it twice a month."....Bl**dy hell Ste that's dedication. I bought the kit 2 years ago and still haven't got round to it!

Bloody hell that must be costing you a fortune... but that's why you're not seeing them, the Renovo hides them for a while but they usually reappear - you're obviously reapplying before they have a chance to show up again.

This is a topic that comes up fairly often over on the Detailing World forums and the consensus appears to be that every rag-top car gets them because of the way the fabric rubs against itself when folding/folded, and you can hide them but there is no long-term solution

Looks great Jonny when we meet at Luke's i thought you where a bit crazy replacing the roof. As i didn't think yours was that bad. I stand corrected and i want into the asylum.....

Looks good Jonny...mine needs some TLC.

Ste...what Renovo product are you using? Proofer? Cleaner? Reviver?

Cheers.

Beautiful job and well worth the cash. Baz

 

[Wyldie85]

Why has this been revived?
OP was from 2013.

Thanks Chle.

Revived rather bizarrely by Chloefolio1196 on 14 Jan 2014.... and through an Internet search comes up on a Skoda Forum based in Turkey........ :!:

Perhaps he/she work for the company who replaced the roof.......
