What’s wrong with your roof? Cosmetic or a fault?

Just had to replace the hydraulic pump on mine. All ok now. But thinking a future job will be to replace the canvas roof.

Two tears in the canvas, both above the windows, obviously caused by previous faulty roof mechanism catching the roof

Be a bit careful if you go down the s/h route because I thought I read the early plastic window type are not interchangeable with the later glass window type.
I stand to be corrected.

It would be a new replacement...wouldn't touch a second hand one - Thanks

Correct as far as I know everything has to be replaced, mechanism, frame, hood etc. I know Emblem sourced a original Maser kit and fitted it to an early Spyder, parts bill alone was around £5k plus days of labour getting it all to fit and work properly.

If it just needs a new canvas there are specialists who could probably make you one from scratch, these guys are well renowned within Alfa circles http://www.coburnhoods.co.uk

How badly damaged? Not repairable? I'm guessing the damage is the same spot each side? Every 4200 Spyder I've seen has some wear here and have had some sort of repair.

Eurospares have an outer canvas with window for £2800 plus vat second hand for £1600.

Thanks the info guys... damage is not too bad, but was caused by the dealers mechanic, so they are liable for replacement. Trying to get some ammo together

Fingers crossed it gets sorted at zero cost to yourself. If you could keep us informed of the outcome that would be appreciated cheers

Got the Spyder back from Autofficina - new roof supplied by HR Owen, and fitted by local firm - All good...so far

Fantastic news. Great outcome!!! Do you know if they replaced the canvas roof only or did they need to do the frame too?
