Yes, find a good upholstery shop.
Don't go to the dealer for any reasons!!!!!
Good luck.

Dealership would be ok if you are going to file on your insurance. Some dealerships will sub those jobs out to upholstery shops, so if they would tell you which one, that may be a route. Then there is the yellow pages.

Yeah i know, but there's always that tiny chance that they might get caught! OK, now I'm being overly optimistic. That's really bold to do that in someone's own freaking driveway. Maybe it's someone you know?

I'm sorry to hear. Too many jerks out there in this world and the sad part is they get away with it.

I totally agree! If I ever have to replace my top, I will replace it with a cloth top.

Don't you know you shouldn't be screwing some other guys chick? Next it'll be tires...

In reality, sorry to hear about your top. Definitely contact your insurance agent.

Me too. #1 reason why I haven't bothered with any mods. I'd move out of this place first or my car would be gone in 5 mins.

Widowmaker, where in Pa. are you? Is that the old Levitz off 95 in Del. in your sig.
Had the top replaced on my Cutlass after a couple staples popped through and someone threw a lit cigarette on it. I used an upholstery shop. He did a great job.

I'm from Bucks County. That Levitz is in Langhorne. What did that replacement cost you?
