Q) Do you repair car hoods?

A) Generally it is neither practical nor economical to repair car hoods. The average life of a car hood is anything between 5 to 10 years depending on how well they have been looked after. Always store the car with the hood up, never leave your soft top down when it is wet as mould and shrinkage will occur. However, we can repair and replace plastic rear windows in most hoods and soft tops.
