Hello Thomas,

I think it is better to contact Mr. Bokemeier (he is the boss) at shop Erker!
Tel. 00/49/5703.32.34.

I don't know the exact price for the fabrication of the inner and outer roof because Mr. Bokemeier made me a price foor the complete roof and interior.
My Hebs roof is sonnenland and the upholstery is leather! :oops:

Why go to somebody who is putting a roof for the first time on a Hebmuller?
He will always miss something!
It's better to pay some more to have it correct out of the first time than that you have to do the job twice and certainly pay more!!! 😳

I experienced that one time before with that smooth talking and so said "expert" in bodywork!!!:?

Mr.Bokemeier and his team are knowing what they are doing because they already made several Hebmullers!

And in my honest opinion it is better to go to somebody who knows what he is doing than to go to somebody who doesn't!!

All I can tell you is that quality has a certain price but when you get your car back when ready and see al that quality with your own eyes you will be very very satisfied!!!:shock:

Do me a favor and give the man a call and ask for your price!:wink:

Hi ET,

Thanks for the answer. I will certainly call mr Bokemeier.

I am very irrtated over the current status of my roof now. The roof is old and hard, they have put in a large rear window in it and it is not possible to fold it down completely.

But I feel I have to do the body restoration before I send it to Erkers.

Hello Thomas,

When your roof is old and hard probalby the woodwork inside the roof has had the best time of its life too!
So it is better to buy the woodwork new too!
To mount a "small" back window you need to buy the wooden frame anyhow!
Go to this page and have a look!
A complete set costs €1.285,-
I bought the new set to Claus! Nice person, great service!
To get a nice result you have to do that too!8)

When you ask me it is not a good idea to start restoring the roof first!!![-x
Before you put a new roof make sure everything fits, opens and closes well!
I don't think you get fully dressed before you take a shower or do you?[-x

Thats for sure!

I have already bought and received a new wooden roof kit, so that part is OK.

Next winter will be time for the body restoration before the roof.

See you!!

Hi Thomas, There is some product on the market to get your roof a bit softer...
I'm also looking after it...
It is a product to get hard rubber back soft.
I'll let you know what it is if I have found it.
Maybe some other guys have a lead for it... :d

Hi Sambaguy,
you can talk to Rainer at HO show, he have a shop at swapmarket. You can also look 5-6 Hebroofs and all the roof at Grundmanncollection. I will not there, i have my keyshop there. Don´t waste money to refresh your roof, it is dead.
The best is to bring the car paintet, without the wings, no bumpers and not build in wood!

Yes Marcus dead or refreshed dead it still stays dead!!!:?
OK when you hear the price of putting a new roof
you maybe say it is a lot but once you see how the car
looks like with a roof of Bokemeier (Erker) you forget that!! :shock:
And I can know that!!:wink:

It may be a good idea to make some sort of treatment to the roof just to prevent it from leaking during the trip to H.O.

Thank for the tip.

The annoucement I am going to make may disappoint some people but you don't have half an idea how sick and sad I feel!!!!:?

I will go to Hessisch Oldendorf but if I will be there with my Hebmuller will be the big question?

Due to the sickness and hospitalisation of my
"chief mechanic" and "best friend" Guido several things in the rebuilt of my Heb went very wrong!!!:cry:
However there is nothing that cannot be fixed by Opa but he has a problem!!! End of the week he is going to his home country for his holidays!!!

Opa promised me to solve and fix the problem as soon as he comes back but that is after the HO meeting!!!:cry: :cry: :cry:

I know sorry but: Shit Happens!!!

Hi ET,

I hope Guido is making a good recovery and it's a real shame if 623 can't make it to H.O. What about a trailer? At least then it would be there even if it's not finished! :beer:

Sorry Josche!!! I could not resist:evil:
I still like to have an unmolested heb when the HO meeting is over!!!:lol: :lol: :lol:

BTW Guido is recovering good but to recover of such an operation there is more time needed!:?

ET , Your Heb will be ready, and if not Armin will deliver the heb with a trailer in HO ! I need my trailer for my car, and Josche will drive that combination to HO!
And please do not forget that Christian was doing his best to get your Car ready in the Ercker workshop aswell, He would be very disapointed if your car would not be at the show, and I would not be your best friend anymore ! I was working several years on that heb to get it ready for this show !

To reach the actual problem they had to take away a hole lot!:shock:
So when they start to assemble Guido again they
forgot to put a part back in!!!
When you put 3 spark plugs instead of 4 spark plugs in the engine of your car it isn't running good either isn't it?:?
I know too that you can't compare Guido with a car but this is the most easy way to explain to you!!:roll:
Everybody understood?:wink:
