Carpets and Roof Covers

[WonkyGibbon]

Hello All,

It's been years since I've been on here regularly. The S is still going strong and is still my daily hack.

However its getting toward time to spend a bit of money on her. The carpets are knackered and really need doing and the fabric on the roof panels is splitting along the seams at the sides - so need recovering.

Does anyone know of any good people in South West London for these sorts of jobs? Normally I'd use the PH search for info first, but it seems to be out of commission.

Thank you!

WG

And for additional weirdness, the car had a "car cap" on all weekend - and yet I get into it this morning and the parcel shelf is saturated from the peeing rain. I couldn't feel any wetness around the roof seals.

Anyone know if the fabric around the windows lose waterproofness over time? I can't see a tear - it's a mystery to me!!

Thanks,

WG

Hi Danny - can't help with an outfit that can recover your soft top, but I've used Renovo products for many years on various convertibles and been well pleased with the results both in terms of appearance and water resistance.

These guys http://www.carhood.com/ are in Chessington, near the world of adventures. They replaced the rear screen in my S3 last year, and they do hoods too.

Thanks Guys - it's a good point about the renovo. I haven't done a water proofing exercise since early last summer - so worth giving that a go. Failing that - the guys at Chessington seem to be reasonably priced.

Thanks all round,

WG
