Default Top Repair?

Can anyone tell me if there is a place in the Orlando area who will repair a hole in my top? I don't want to replace the top just repair a hole.

Thanks for any help or information - much appreciated.

Nicole

Depending on how big the hole is you could try applying a patch. Tear-aid Type-B was suggested to me. I tried it on my top and thus far it has worked. It is available at West Marine.

Thanks...I'm going to try that as well...Ive got like a slit/incision type hole
about 1" long and very thin.

I've talked to a lot of auto top repair types and no one has an answer other than
just completely replace the top! I'd rather not do that.

What's funny as well...when I bought this car family and friends all agreed that
all convertibles leak..well..this thing surely DOES NOT leak..even with a hole!

The tear-aid shoudl work on a 1" slit. The patches come in several sizes. There is a West Marine in Sanford near the mall.

If anyone needs some extra top material I have plenty.

The good people of Orlando have been nice enough to give me the opportunity to replace it twice
