Convertible top repair in GTA?

Naiart · 07-09-2020, 08:04 AM

My soft top stopped working under its own power. I assume it's the pump or the hydraulic lines. I don't feel comfortable working on this on my own. I wondered if anyone knows a shop that has experience taking these apart. I searched but didn't come up with much.

I'd give RMP, 11tenths, or white eagle a call, all of them are BMW specialists and while I don't know any of them explicitly working on the soft tops, it won't hurt to call them first.

If its the motors, remember you can apparently use the Ford Mustang (I think) motors as replacements for a LOT cheaper.

Call Noble Performance in Markham for a price comparison. Wilson can do anything and is both fearless and competent (as opposed to dangerous mechanics who are fearless and incompetent

). Not to mention his labour rates are a bargain.

He has owned several S2000's and has convertibles in the garage all the time.

Give BELEN AUTOMOTIVE a ring. They know how to work on Zed's. I was there not too long ago (2-3 weeks ago) and they had 4 in the shop. One for a roof motor replacement in fact
