    How much are people paying for new soft tops to be made ?

    The roof on my Roadster is old and stiff. In fact when removed it stays in shape like a hardtop !
    Obviously a new top will be needed idc. I can carefully unpick the stitches of the old roof to provide templates.
    Any one give me a rough idea how much it costs to have a new soft top made ?

    Thanks.

    Loads of Marlin Reference can be found documents here or there.
