BAS International has been supplying tops for several years
There have been many group buys arranged by several here and on Facebook BAS now offers Crossfire owners new convertible tops at a reasonable price around $800 shipped to the USA
They are made to order with a lifetime warranty.
You don't have to pay for it until it's completed.
Just email Becky :Becca@bas-international.com
Re: BAS International Replacement Convertible Tops
Its been about 3 years since I created this thread but the time came for me to purchase a new top
I did and I'm sharing it here to refresh this thread -
No group buys are needed any longer as they are simply giving us a discount because so many of us purchase tops from them for our Crossfires.
I got my new top from BAS International https://www.car-hood.co.uk/crossfire Ordered on June 13 and arrived today via: DHL Freight
Just over 5 weeks from production to my door
$821 total cost with shipping
If ya need a new one email Rebecca at: Becca@bas-international.com

Lets hope it didn't degrade while in storage, like a current new owner who has a problem with a recently installed new top the previous owner eventually installed.

New tops are "new"
They are manufactured upon ordering one
6 to 8 weeks lead time
Re: BAS International Replacement Convertible Tops
How difficult is it to install a new top and had you done it before. I am considering buying a low mileage car but it needs a new top. It goes up and down as it should, but it's coming apart at the seams.
Thanks,

Reason: spelling
Re: BAS International Replacement Convertible Tops
My wife and I changed our top ourselves in an afternoon. Didn’t break any speed records, but fit was great and it came out fine. You need a good rivet tool, other than that it takes pretty common hand tools.
Re: BAS International Replacement Convertible Tops
I was not about to tackle it, not when I had friends who could do it for me. They did the entire job before breakfast in a condo parking lot during the Eureka SPrings event.
Join the group, attend some events, and you need not do anything all by yourself. (Of course, "Kingwood" is not a location, you could be in Australia where there are a total of four Crossfires...............)
Re: BAS International Replacement Convertible Tops
The glue around my window is starting to look bad and I'm considering a new top. As I'm a new CF owner this site is helpful. Just wondering if I didn't want to tackle it myself, who I would take it to (I'm in St Louis, MO) to install?

Robert McCubbin replaces tops, he lives in Olathe, KS. He did mine free at the Eureka Springs meet, in June.
He will be at the Smokies meet next weekend. He also hosts "tech days" at his house at least twice a year.
If you wanted him to make a special trip, he'd charge you for it but probably not a lot.
THere is also Zach in South Carolina, Rick in PA, Eric and Cliff in Ohio, etc.
YOu can take it to a local shop and get ripped for for $1500 for a two hour job, many such shops do a pretty awful job but at least they are expensive.
Here's Robert teaching Zach how to do it, on my car, in a condo parking lot before breakfast. Cost me breakfast for the two of them.
Re: BAS International Replacement Convertible Tops
Do the Tops from BAS International come with a Glass Back Window or is it plastic? Also are they sewn in or just glued? Do they have the defroster built in the glass?
Also are there any places in the U.S. that can match or come close to $821 (total cost with shipping price) that is mentioned above in this thread.
I have been quoted $350 for the install her in the Houston area, I am just trying to get the best replacement top for the best price.

Re: BAS International Replacement Convertible Tops
BAS tops have glass glued in with the defroster inside the glass exactly like the OEM top
Very good quality and I doubt you will find anything even close in price anywhere else
I have a BAS top and many others here I know do as well
I highly recommend them and they have been a major provider for the Crossfire owners here for 8 years or more
Re: BAS International Replacement Convertible Tops
Hello again. I decided to replace my twice repaired soft top on my 2005 Limited Roadster, blaze red with vanilla interior and 20,100 miles. My problem is I’m getting a kickback on my emails to: Rebecca.web.bas@gmail.com
I got it from a post by Valk and have tried several times. Any new info on ordering the replacement top fromBAS. Thank you.
EDIT UPDATE FROM VALK: I sent an email to Becky at BAS to confirm her current email address
She replied that Its: Becca@bas-international.com

Re: BAS International Replacement Convertible Tops
Thanks pizzaguy. I am in contact with Becca using the info@ address. I will update members on the current price and delivery later today. There is a special offer versus just ordering online from the manufacturer. 👍
Re: BAS International Replacement Convertible Tops
Follow-up: I emailed BAS at info@bas-international.com and received a response directly from Rebecca. I submitted my order for a new soft top for my 2005 Limited Roadster. The current cost through her is £539 with added shipping to North Carolina of £90. The turnaround time quoted today is 4 weeks. I used an exchange rate of $1 = £0.79 and totals $796. This is a lower price than the company website she says. I look forward to its arrival!
Re: BAS International Replacement Convertible Tops
Thanks Valk for all that you do for us so we can learn more about the Crossfire than just driving it. Thanks also th pizzaguy and zeracer for specially helping with my questions. 👍👍👍
