Default Soft top stitch up

Does anyone know where I can get my soft top stitched up in socal? I have tears in my top and I need to get it stitched up before we experience El Niño in southern Cali.

Not sure if it's an option, but if the tears aren't that large, it's pretty easy to do yourself. I spent about 15 minutes patching up a 2 inch tear in my top and it is functionally good as new and not particularly noticeable. Sew together the seam, iron on the patch on the inside and reinforce with adhesive on the outside. Here are the materials I used:

Some local upholstery shops can repair soft tops so I would try to contact them and inquire.
