Cost-Effective Solutions to Soft Top Issues

At Cayman Autos, our experienced soft top experts offer convertible mechanism repairs, cleaning and reproofing, and rear-screen bonding. Because we focus on targeted repairs and refurbishment rather than wholesale replacements, you’ll almost always save compared to the cost of installing a brand-new hood.

In most cases, a full soft top replacement simply isn’t necessary; our professional soft top restorations can stop water ingress and help your cabriolet look as good as new. If you do require a full replacement, we’ll be more than happy to point you in the right direction and provide advice.

Damaged Soft Top

If You Think You Need a New Convertible Roof…

If you’ve noticed any of the following in your convertible vehicle, you’d assume you need a full soft top replacement:
  • Faded or discoloured fabric that simply won’t come clean.
  • Stubborn stains or mildew that resist your typical cleaning routine.
  • Persistent leaks around seams or the rear window.
  • Peeling or detached rear-screen seals, leaving gaps and drafts.
However, a brand-new hood isn’t always the cure to the above. At Cayman Autos, we address the root cause of your soft top roof issues – be that mechanical or material-related – and apply the necessary repair or reproofing treatment you need, saving you time and money compared to an unnecessary full replacement. For example:
  • Mechanical faults, like worn hinges or broken latches, often prevent proper tension and sealing. This is a common issue which our specialists can successfully address.
  • Material porosity develops over time as the water-repellent coating wears off; our reproofing service restores that barrier without swapping out the entire rooftop.

Our Soft Top Roof Services

Although we don’t offer a full replacement service ourselves, we offer several other alternatives to restore your cabriolet’s appearance and keep it functioning as it should:

Free Visual Inspection

If you’re concerned about water ingress, we offer a FREE visual inspection to assess the extent of the problem. This will involve checking seams and the general condition of the roof material for any obvious tears or areas of weakness. Afterwards, we’ll provide actionable advice to help you decide what to do next.

Soft Top Mechanism Repairs

If your cabriolet’s roof mechanism is malfunctioning, we offer a fast diagnosis and repair quote, usually within an hour. To get your convertible back on the road quickly, we’ll usually suggest a same-day repair, especially if you’re travelling to our Surrey-based workshop. For an entire replacement, your roof mechanism needs to be working - we can make sure of this.

Fabric Cleaning & Reproofing

If you’ve noticed frequent leaks or buildup of dirt in your soft top fabric, you might be quick to assume that an entire replacement is needed. However, in the majority of cases, your cabriolet will just need a professional clean and a reproofing coat. We ensure that the toughest of dirt and growth build-up is removed, helping your car’s interior stay dry.

Rear Screen Rebonding

If your rear window has detached from the fabric, our soft top experts can offer a rebond to address this promptly. We’ll assess where the screen has become loose, apply a suitable adhesive, and clamp the screen in place whilst the adhesive dries.
