Today we completed the fitting of a new hood to this very large Cadillac Eldorado much to the delight of the owner.
We have been specialising in the fitting of replacement soft tops to American cars for over 30 years. In fact, we are one of the few hood fitting companies able to take on these older convertibles.
On the same day we also fitted a hood to a Ford Ka, and so in one day we fitted a hood to one of the largest convertibles and to one of the smallest!
So for the fitting of any soft top from a Cadillac to a KA it’s all in a days work at Car Hood Warehouse.

Here at Car Hood Warehouse we carry out many hood & soft top replacements for insurance companies for their policyholder's convertibles.
However with the ever rising cost of vehicle insurance we are often surprised that many insurance company policyholders automatically put their vandalised hood replacement through their insurance company, when if they take into account excess payments and loss of no claims bonuses it usually works out cheaper in the long term to take advantage of our hood replacement service and not involve their insurance company.
So before contacting your insurance company, speak to one of our telephone sales representatives and see if we can save you money on your cabriolet hood replacement.

We have many customers call in to our premises with their convertible cars for help and advice. In fact, we welcome visitors at our convenient location just off the M25 in Surrey.
However, recently we have had two customers, one with a BMW E46 and one with an Audi TT, with damage to their car hood resulting from visiting their local carwash. In both cases a high pressure jet wash had been used directly on their soft tops in an attempt to clean the hoods.
These high pressure hoses had blasted the material of their hoods apart causing the cars to leak. It is essential that you do not allow high pressure jet washes to be used on your convertible hood.
At Car Hood Warehouse we recommend you only use a low pressure hose to rinse off your hood when washing your car. In both of these cases we were able to replace the hoods at a very reasonable price.
So go careful with those high pressure jet washes on your prized drop top!
