    I got my Honda convertible roof replaced by a chap that was recommended. I had the new roof so he just fitted it. Think it was around 350 I think as its a real ball-ache to do correctly.

    some lads wont touch a roof unless they buy it. Robinson roofs are meant to be the business and have glass in the back not plastic

    How does the window fold if it's glass?

    It doesn't. The roof folds down around the glass when in operation.

    Some manufacturers use a clear plastic instead of glass but that tends to get yellow and brittle over time.

    I can confirm, total ball ache, did it myself with the help of a friend on my one and it was beyond fiddly. Lots of cut fingers and it didn't fold correctly.

    I got it from Monsoon in the UK, they do fit over there though and much better job than I did.
