What is the issue? I fixed a small tear in my top with the help of Sammm, and I know others have too. A patch and the right adhesive can save a lot of cash. Someone else probably will chime in with shops though.

I second the recommendation... not the cheapest, but they do very nice work.

Thanks for all the responses! I am located in the Denton area. The issue I need to get corrected is the stitching on the edges of the top on each side back by the plastic window. The stitches have pulled out and the edging is coming loose. The missing stitches are on the back edges of the top not the actual section that contains the window. It seems like it should be relatively easy to stitch it back. Thanks.

V.O.R.A. in Lewisville did a top notch job installing my replacement top on the 92 B&T I used to have... While I was there scheduling the installation, I got to poke around a nice 71 Mustang that he was redoing the interior on. It was SWEET!

Go get some heavy duty thread and a needle and restitch it yourself, I did this on my '92 and it worked great! It's time consuming but worth the effort!

I took the advice of POS Racing and got some heavy-duty tan thread and re-stitched it myself. Seems like it worked very well, you can hardly tell it was re-stitched. It took about 30 - 45 minutes to do both sides and only cost $3.00! Thanks! :D

If some of these smilies look strange to you fellas, it's that IE6 doesn't like the PNG24 format I'm using for transparencies...

Firefox, no problems.
