Bikini Hood Advice/Recommendations

[Mefster]

After the prolonged snagging, I have a little more confidence going further afield in my '88 Land Rover. Started our trip to the club Rally in Matlock with the canvas roof off, but soon had to fit it due to the heavy showers. After seeing a bikini hood fitted on one of the other member's vehicles I thought that would be a neat back up for roof off trips on British 'sunny' days.

I've seen a few options available. With some variation in price. This option looks good (and good value) and got a good review in a previous thread:

The only concern I have is that on the Senorbarbo option the rear tensioning straps appear to attach midway along the inside of the tub, rather than on the rear staple that the others and my full canvas use.

I have the shark-tooth windscreen mount for my full Exmoor trim canvas.

Any recommendations or advice would be gratefully received

There are some comments here about them,

The top does look good and something I have considered but not purchased.

After reading the comments about the Senorbarbo hood flapping, I may go for a more traditional option: Exmoor Trim or Heritage 1948 seem to be the two options.

Anybody have any experience of quality/durability?
