    Best replacement top

    Is there a consensus on what's the best brand and source for a replacement top , cables and straps? Is Cabrio world still a reputable source? When I did my 89 VW Cabriolet some years back, that was the one to get.

    Thinking on tacking this as a winter project, just want to make sure which one to get.

    Thanks!

      I bet they want an arm and a leg for those ones! What about aftermarket? I see Cabrioworld has the kit (top, straps,cables) for $800, but tops online (ebay) for $630.00, anyone with experience?

        Robbins and GAHH make the best replacement tops. Haartz is the best material for the top. Robbins and GAHH both use Haartz fabric.

              Installed a robins top about a year ago. Quality and fit is amazing, well worth the price. FYI I got new tension cable springs from pelican and they were too stiff, pulled the ends off both cables the moment I closed the top. Ping, ping!

                Robbins tops are the go-to for S2000 owners, and I've seen one for the E30 and it's just as good. Would definitely trust Robbins
