You Touch My Tra La La?

Where are some good upholstery shops (convertible related)

A vandal decided it would be enjoyable to stick a knife through my vert top....hooray juvenile delinquents!

Anyhow, I want to get this patched. Where are some places that would do this sort of thing? Or even worse.....replaced **shudder**

Pics to be posted after work.

Most places don't patch they replace and tell you something about integrity of the top when patched is garbage blabla bla. So just patch it yourself it's really not hard, water proof fabric glue, water proof canvas, big needle and thread, and a few hours and you've have it done.

I just patched the roof on my convertible where someone jumped on the roof the other weekend took about 24 hours for the glue I used to cure so the top had to stay up and slightly tight but not locked all the way down the whole time.

Your rip looks to be in a real bitch of a location to try to patch, you might have to just replace it. You can order convertible tops online and install them yourself; never put a top on before but I’ve been told it’s easy.
