Toyota Rav 4 - soft top

[schmee10]

Hi there

Am new to the owners club. I've just bought a Toyota Rav 4 soft top (1998). The soft top is not in good shape and needs replacing. Apparently Toyota have discontinued making them. Does anyone have any ideas? No upholsterers seems willing to take it on! Am based in London, if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be really grateful!

 

Thanks

Hello Gabby - welcome to Toyota Owners Club.

Not many soft tops were sold - according to 'How Many Left' there are 137 still licenced in the UK at the second quarter of this year.

You need to search for a car hood company though a replacement may be expensive - for example http://www.carhoodsdirect.co.uk/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=3950

Moved to the Rav4 club.

It's not an upholsterer you need. Look for an autotrimmer / autotrimming company - shouldn't be a problem to manufacture from the original and you can choose the colour and fabric type. Personally I think that double duck looks nicer than vinyl types.
