Hi, anyone know where and how much a replacement roof for a 400 would cost please?

I would be checking in with Surface and Design at the old factory.
Top people there...

It's D&C Trim who do this type of work at the factory. IIRC it is in the £650 area.

Hi, sorry for delay in response, the original roof and rubbers are tatty, the roof also leaks badly. I'm also looking to have the veneers redone too over the winter, take it same place can sort.

Hi Mate..Have the roof recovered and the seals are easy..If your door seals are crap then you might as well replace the lot..Took me about half hour..Admittedly the roof ones are a little harder as they are put in at an angle but perseverance my old china..Ziga

Precisely. Could drop it off with Richard at RT Racing for the new mohair.

Door rubbers ordered, what about the rubber bits that run up the doors, at the front as these are mullered too.

£600 - that's too steep IMO. I can get it done for £400 down south...

Hi Mate..Not quite sure what you mean there but the door seals run from either the edge of passenger or drivers side where the door shuts..(Back of door)..and goes around the door opening,Up around the top of the windscreen where the hood meets and around the door opening on the opposite side all in one bit with no cuts..You use the same rubber seal for the facing edge of the hood and the side pieces of the targe top panel..Just make a note of which way round the rubber is when you remove it..make sure you push it on firmly as the lower part of the door frame has the edge of carpet in it as well..I pushed mine into place but if you are carefull you could use a rubber mallet and gently tap it into place..There is enough rubber seal to do the whole car if you ordered from the link i put up..Good luck..Ziga

He must of sent you the one for the FHC not for a convertible.
I have had three sets from him for the convertible and I only had enougth for the opening with a little left over!

I also have had a set for a FHC and that was a lot longer!

Hi Andy..It is possible that when you bought yours he was doing exactly enough just for the door to door but when i spoke to him on the phone a little while ago he said he now puts more in as the same rubber fits the hood and roof panel..Cheers..Ziga
