      I'm getting PM'd about once per week since posting about a PDF file with instructions that I have. I believe those who have received it found it useful. Can Les or someone post it here so I don't have to email it out over and over?
      Les, I sent it to you a while back. If you don't have it anymore I'll gladly send it again.
      Thx

        I hate to post in a sticky but could you please list where you bought the Soft top from.

          Seems i was shipped the Defender 110 top. Any way to modify it to work.. or send it back to the UK?

          The new EXmoor top i bought doesnt have the recest holes in the front as pictured. Its solid across the front w/ a sewn rope inside to be tucked under the lip. When i tuck it under there.. then its not long enough to fit the door opening.

            You could try a local trim shop, the best ones for this would be a boat trim shop.
            All the best with it.
            We have the Sand tops with windows due in later this week.

              Classic Exmoor-They are impossible to deal with. The only way to buy there stuff is through RN, otherwise be prepared to get screwed.

                I would send it back and get the correct one.
                If you told them the year/make/model of your truck, they should have sent you the correct top. It should fit without modifications - the Exmoor tops are expensive and modifications aren't cheap (if they're done by someone who knows what they're doing). Having someone modify the one you've been given could just F it up.

                If you have a solid leading edge, it sounds like they gave you a top for the newer style Defender header, not for a Series. Mine had the holes like the one pictured.

                  Header Rail Woes

                  Exmoor's last batch of header rails was wrong -- the teeth are too far up. Waiting for replacement from them. New buyers should beware of this anomaly.
