Question Convertible Top Repair Shop???

Anyone have a recommendation on a cheap convertible repair shop? I need a bracket replaced/repaired....if it's even possible. Thanks in advance.

C&S interiors on 49th 727-572-0960, tell 'em Bill sent you. I know they do top replacements, call them about the bracket, if they don't do it, they'll know who does.

Word of advice: NEVER go to a cheap convertable shop. With convertable top repair you pay for what you get. I have had experience with expensive and cheap shops, and I can honestly say it is well worth the extra money to get it done right.

The only place I would go is up in Jacksonville. They repaired my top and my father's top on his Cobra vert. After they were done, the top actually functioned better than OEM.

The convertible shop on 38th ave and 28th street - forget what the name is - but they have replaced to tops for me - and they were pretty reasonable. Capri Interiors?

Btw, I'm the guy with the blue Evo that live around the corner from you. I believe I saw your girl the other night, but I'm not sure.

Anyways, nice to meet you. Maybe we can meet face to face sometime.

Later


Cool. Nice car BTW, the color really sets it apart.
