Title: replacement soft top
Post by: johnpic on June 10, 2022, 09:24:18 AM: Hi all. I need to replace the soft top on my Capri & was wondering if anyone has used either an EZ On or a Robbins brand? Also, is it worth an extra $100 to go with the Stayfast cloth as opposed to the Cabrio? Thanks. John Oh, & by the way, does anyone have a foglight housing I can purcase. I broke the glass in 1 that I previously purchased!

My first replacement was Cabrio, it ripped the first year and it was downhill from there...lol One of mine has the Robbins top ad it is an excellent top. You might try eBay, the convertible top guys make a good top. If you Facebook you might try 1991-1994 Mercury Capri Owners Group, a sister to teamcapri.com and 1991-1994 Mercury Capri Scavengers Group for parts.

Good luck and glad you're onboard.

If just like to ask your collective opinion on a replacement top. I see there are a few different kits out there, plus the option of having one custom made.

I don’t drive my Capri (93) in the winter, so thermal insulation isn’t really a factor. Just need it to reliably keep my dry.

What is your experience and/or recommendations?

Cheers
James.

Im going to be refurbishing a hardtop that I sourced from a junkyard as well this winter and will be putting it up for sale next spring after its completed.
