Does anyone know of a place that will do this repair in the Atlanta, GA area? My window, which is in immaculate shape, came out last weekend. The stitching came loose in the top left corner while I was caught in a torrential downpour. By the time I got home the entire top section and both sides have become un-sewn. I was going to upgrade to a 2003 top but that seems to be a little complicated to do on a 99. I have called around to several shops in the area the only thing they will do is replace the entire top. Please let me know if you have any advice.

Thanks,
Willliam

I started doing some homework last night after the replys I got. I found a shop on google - typed in convertible top repair and about 15 shops came up including marine shops...but there were quite a few that specialized in windo repair for auto. My window is great as well, starting to show the slightest wear and also have about a 1/2 inch cut but does not let water through so eventually I will replace. I figured my top is perfect...no wear at all to it so why change the whole thing for over a grand!

You may want to look up a guy in ATL named Brian Gwaltney who owns South Atlanta Motorsports. I bought a 356 speedster replica from him and he is WELL connected in the auto world in ATL. Use my name...Todd Rimer and tell him I said hello. He may know of a good company to fix that issue...
