Hoods galore

[Hammers]

Hi has anybody had any work done by hoods galore . Thinking of having my back window done by them

Do you mean these people http://www.hoodsgaloreuk.co.uk/?

Not heard of them personally. Is it just the rear screen you are looking at changing, in which case you could by a OEM original and fit it yourself. It's a bit fiddly and needs two pairs of hands, but it's been done by many already.

As Gary has said this is doable from a DIY point of view and I have indeed done it myself, if you want to check out the link below I did a little writeup which may influence your decision as the whether or not to do it yourself or not.

Here is Another Link to a really detailed PDF document link, looks perfectly do-able with a little bit of help.

I am going to do mine in the summer when it is hotter weather

but compared to the oem one this looks ok

has anybody tried this one?

That's the one that has a cloth overlapping bead rather then a plastic one which I am not sure about tbh. Might be ok but like me you may have to suck it and see.

I did mine in Croydon. They charged me 150 pounds for two hour job.

A very nice job!

Cant remember website address but you should be able to google.

Thats it! soft tops. I paid back in 2006 for £125.00 still mine is good condition so worth giving him a call.

Did they fit a completely new part or did they re-use your old zipper and 'U' channel by stitching a new plastic window section into it before zipping back in?

Mine needs doing but I want a new 'U' channel as mine is all scuffed and dull.
