I was wondering if I could replace the soft top of my electric hood using a soft top from a manually operated one?? Any help will be greatly appreciated people

I think they are both the same mate. The only problem you might have is actually keeping the top in usable condition in the taking off process. I wanted to take the top of the Rieger and use it on my blue cab, but they said because of the glue used when the top is fitted, the top falls apart when you take it off the frame

there is one slight difference..the electric top has a stiff wire fitment though the roof (just over the drives head) I think this is to keep the folds in place when closing..if left out a bit of roof tends to come out under the flap
