No appointments please, my fingers are still in recovery
I see why shops charge a minimum of $200 to sew one of these in. My fingers looked like pin cusions by the time I was done. That was mostly due to me never sewing a stitch in my life. Once I dropped the thimble idea and went to the needle nose pliers I only lanced myself a couple times.
My main concern with the top was to stop water from coming in as my old one was literaly shot. It had a foot long crack down the right side and a 6" crack down the left. As stated earlier my top is down 95% of the time I am in the car. If money
isn't a concern of yours I would definately go with the new glass top installed for around a grand.
