WTD, NC PRHT aftermarket roof controller

Just looking for a smartTOP or similar controller for the PRHT, before I give up and buy a new one!

Like you, I tried for months to get a second hand one, with no luck.
I did get a new Smart Top off EBay that was considerably cheaper than anywhere else.

Good luck - they are quite rare on the second-hand market.

Just FYI, MX5things also make a module with similar functionality to the smartTOP, so it might be worth looking at those as well.

Ironicalyl I gave up and ordered the MX5Things module, now there’s a smarrtop on ebay :slight_smile:

MX5things module came way faster than expected, fitted easily, and I bloody love it. Auto-open definitely adds 27.3 horsepower

Did you have to pay Import Tax, VAT etc? They’re currently £146 + postage which is very tempting.

I’ve emailed them about charges - we’ll see what they say . . .

This explains the taxes due. I think Import Tax will be around 5%, and the courier (Royal Mail or whoever is used) will charge their fee for collection of the taxes.

So on £146 + £15 postage it would be £8 Import, £33.80 would be added for VAT, then the handling fee, so I’d expect it to end up costing £210-215.

Thanks, that’s a helpful guide.
Best UK price that I can see for the NC/Mk3 Smart Top is £317 plus delivery
