I helped a friend replace the roof on his 900C and it was quite doable as a DIY. Took a good day to remove and another to install. The job is quite methodical and keeping the bits in order and removing the old glue took a good chunk of time. Also requires two people to stretch ti into shape.
He bought an aftermarket roof that used the same German cloth. Side-by-side the OEM and this roof looked identical except for some improvements that were made on the beading. I think the roof and all supplies cost him less than 1/2 of an OEM roof.
I wouldn't be scared off a CV by roof replacement....chassis rigidity, or lack there of, drove me away.
