Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Hi All, can anyone recommend somewhere that might be able to repair a small tear in the roof of my car, plus some that can do general reconditioning?

Suggestion
I'm not sure many firms would be happy repairing a tear as it would be very difficult to make watertight, most trimmers would prefer to take the roof off to effect any repairs which is itself the bulk of the labour cost.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

PistonHeads: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Generation: 20261026T105141Z · outcome-qualification-6. Deterministic extraction; no AI model inference. How we use sources

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, can anyone recommend somewhere that might be able to repair a small tear in the roof of my car, plus some that can do general reconditioning? I'd like some in the south west ideally; Berkshire, Oxon, Surrey, Hampshire ideally, but could travel into London (I'm in Reading). Thanks in advance. M

M I'm not sure many firms would be happy repairing a tear as it would be very difficult to make watertight, most trimmers would prefer to take the roof off to effect any repairs which is itself the bulk of the labour cost. It's worth ringing around a few trimmers as I did and reached the conclusion of buying a new roof to guarantee being water tight. Depends on budget and long term intentions for the car too I suppose. I used these people http://www.hothoods.co.uk/ who can travel to you, they did a new roof for me for £700 inc. fitting and guarantee.
