New Soft Top Roof for Mk1

Technical Area Body, Interior & Styling
1
  1. My model of MX-5 is: Mk1 1996
  2. I’m based near: Oxford
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: Full or part replacement of Soft Top roof.

I’ve had the rear plastic window panel split for a while and the zip now failing to do up, due to material shrinking I believe. Is it possible to replace just the back panel or just worth replacing the whole roof. This forum I’ve read BAS Hoods are the most recommended but seemingly MX5 Parts aren’t selling them anymore. Direct through them the Vinyl Black is £317 and then finding a place to fit it.

So 2 questions basically: Do I need to do the whole roof? And where is a good place to get to roof fitted around Oxford/Reading sort of way?

All I will say is whatever you do, do not fall for the MX5 parts free fitting offer. The hood I bought seems reasonable quality but they totally ruined all the bolts holding the rain rail. Three were snapped off. So now my new roof looks lovely but leaks at the back.
Just warning.
