i'd go to an upholstry shop they'll order one for you and it'll match perfectly... and they deal with them more than anybody, it should only cost about $500 + glass

I agree, just had mine done, the install will cost you. I thought about doing my own, but I didnt want to have to deal with all the sewing, the cables, the bows, and correct fitment. My guy even rebuilt my latches and added an additional seal at the windshield so rain would not run through, total cost with top and labor was about 1100.00. and that included a glass rear window using a top ordered from a local Ford dealer.

I have a 94 vert and I priced them on ebay for about 310 for the whole kit. If its just the acutal nylon on the top you want fixed I found those for about 150 on ebay. Then get a quote for labor.
