As some of you know I purchased flutes E30 318i design and with the terrible rain and thunder last night the hood was leaking quite bad.

Does anyone know any decent companies with supply good quality hoods and who also fit them, possibly if they come to me as a little busy at the moment..

Any info will be much appreciated.

Last thing I have an e30 hardtop but the 318 does not have the hardtop fittings fitted if anyone knows some who can fit them please let me know..

I'm in Buckinghamshire.

They make/fit can also be arranged to fit at your location - at least thats what they say - haven't tried them. E30 top is about 400 pounds

Where's the water coming in? If its the seals then getting a new hood fitted isn't going to help, I don't think these would be replaced as a matter of course when fitting a new hood.

Yes, as far as I understood the place I linked does NOT replace any seals...
