Had the good sense to back over the hard top section of the roof of my '95 Chimaera recently (doh!). Turning it round, forgot where the top was, etc. etc. I know, funny!!
It survived! But 2 large cracks about 5" long in it. Does anyone know if the hard top sections on Griffs / Chimaeras the same?
If they are, I'm after a replacement, second-hand in good nick - new ones are £375 plus VAT!!
Damaged one fits OK but flexing when off is all wrong. Weakened of course, so I expect its unsafe too??

if you have to use it keep your speed down....they do come adrift if not a snug fit.....much to the consternation fo following traffic!

I think someone use to do a two piece replacement, might have been Steve Heath. Dunno if it was any cheaper though! The one is classifieds is blue BTW.

I think that was Wedge Automotive. Sounds like a good idea, a la 'S' series.
