    Hi Graham, Laughing
    Another Graham here, how much did GB Trim charge you for your new cabriolet top, and did you get a quote from anybody else?

    Regards,
    Graham.

    Hi all, tried renovo and is a very good product as long as the roof is not to far gone, unfortunatly my roof was to far gone, took it to GBTrim in Nuneaton in the midlands for a second opion basically said it was well past its sell by date something I had strongly expected, so have now taken the plunge and they are recovering the roof and Targa pannels and re-lining, pick it up next week.

    Thanks

    Hi guys,

    Try, www.frost.co.uk

    Look for Renovo products. They are very good although a bit on the expensive side. worked wonders on a Merc (cough splutter) SL I used to own.

    Cheers

    Hi Graham, I also have a Cab,the rear window is starting to fade & the roof panels could do with a bit of cleaning/colouring outside. Like yourself I'm dubious about what to use so if you get any info about a tried & tested product can you make sure the name/names of the products are shown on the site? Regards, Dave, Merseyside.

    Hi there,

    wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction? I have an xjs-c and the rear window is none see through anymore presumably due to sunlight, and the fabric is very faded and feels stiff although does still fold down, plus the headligning on the targa panels has/is breaking down. Have only owned this car for a couple of months and am looking to restore fully. Does anyone know of any companies that could help have googled and comes up with plenty of sugestions for full convertables but not cabriolets.

    Many Thanks

    Graham
