Hi Stephanie and welcome.

If you are looking for a new roof, i'd go to Car Hood Warehouse in Chessington, just off of M25

They've done two 986 roofs for me and many others on here

However, if you have other issues, maybe a local specialist,
What problem do you have ?

Hi Jason ...thanks for reply and welcome....my roof problem in short roof stopped halfway through opening left hand side had stopped working my mechanic friend called managed to get the release clip off and with guiding it by hand managed to reclose the roof on right hand motor only ...my friend while being a mechanic said best take to someone who deals with these as his is unfamiliar with electric roofs...ant help advice suggestion who is a local specialist...would be really kind ...thanks stephanie

Stephanie, as Jason said Car Hood Warehouse good for a new roof. For fixing an issue I'd suggest a quick wizz up the M4 to Ray Northway at Theale near Reading. He is a great independent & I'd use him more often if he were closer. There are a few nearer you but Ray would be my choice.

HI Jim...Thanks for information am closer to bournemouth southampton but if unable to find someone closer...then that maybe the answer....thanks for reply .....my mechanic friend looks after my other cars ...but does not do roofs...kind regards stephanie

Monsoon Hoods or SM Trimming in East Sussex will sort out your hood.
