Re: W460 soft top makers ,suppliers
hi there, I had a soft top made here in n Cyprus. material was sourced from turkey .quality great ! workmanship great too !! my cabrio has a folding frame so somethings maybe a bit different.. but I have an original soft top too somewhere in the garage stored away. I kept it as a template for future needs... I can get you price if you want. I can vynl windows fitted too, and even get the inside lined in velour type roof lining too if you request. [price varies ofcourse] only parts you will need to get added on are the orginal parts that were factory fitted like hooks and like... if want I can supply you the material only and you can get it made in the uk. if you don't have the template I can sell you this one too. anything to keep fred happy !! ;) rgds hus

I agree with fredecosse when you get a hu55 reply it's like being picked on the voice.

i have a German ebay seller who want 1600 euro each  I need two anyone else wants to chip in as I have bid 1000 euro each and they are thinking about it .

I think I have attached a photo.
