When I needed a new roof for the Karmann Ghia I ordered one from these people http://carhoodsdirect.co.uk/

It was made to order in the States and took about 6 weeks if I remember it right. The quality and fit are fantastic, but they highly recommend the roof is fitted by a professional auto trimmer, but seeing as I was only replacing the outer skin and had the old one to take off and see where everything went I decided to fit it myself. It is possibly the most difficult job I have ever done on any VW.

Maybe your best bet would be to contact trimmers local to you, find one that will do a roof, I spoke with Pete at Bromsgrove Auto Trim after I'd done mine and he told me he would avoid them if he could.

This guy Steve specialises in cabrio hoods. Don’t know what his work is like but he’s been around for a long time. His seat trimming etc is good.
