Worn fabric, an opened seam or a top that no longer fits right? Craig's repairs and replaces convertible-top covers. We look at the material, seams and fit before recommending the work.
A torn area or opened seam may be repairable when the surrounding material is sound. Brittle fabric, widespread wear or several failing areas may call for a replacement cover. We inspect the top before recommending an approach.
Fabric or vinyl
Compare the replacement products available for your car, including material, color, texture and window details. The cover choice and fitting plan need to work together.
Seams, folds and fit
We assess how the cover sits on the car, the areas under tension and any earlier repairs. Mention difficulties opening, closing or securing the roof so cover work and any separate mechanical issues can be scoped clearly.
Leaks and water marks
Tell us where water appears and whether it happens while parked or driving. The source may be the cover, seals, glass, drains or another component. Replacing the cover is not a guaranteed fix for every leak.
START WITH YOUR CAR
Send these details and photos.
A few clear daylight photos help us understand the work before discussing the next step.
Your vehicle
Year, make, model and roof type. Include any previous repairs and problems opening or closing the roof.
The complete top
Show the top fully closed from both sides and the rear. Include the window and the way the top meets the body.
The area that needs work
Show tears, opened seams, worn folds or earlier patches. If water is getting in, add a photo of the staining or wet area inside.
What you want to change
Tell us whether you want a similar finish or a different available material or color, and when the car can be available.
Can a convertible top be repaired instead of replaced?
Sometimes. A local repair may be suitable when the surrounding material and construction are sound. Widespread wear, multiple failed seams or previous repairs can make a replacement cover the better option. Inspection helps us recommend the scope.
Should I choose fabric or vinyl?
Start with the products available for your car and the appearance you want. Compare the material, color, window details and fitting requirements together. Neither fabric nor vinyl is the automatic choice for every vehicle.
Will a new cover stop a leak?
It can address water entering through a failed cover. Leaks can also involve seals, glass, drains or other components. We need to understand the source before treating a new cover as the answer.
Can you fix a motor, latch or frame problem?
This page covers upholstery work on the top. Motors, latches, frames and other operating components are separate mechanical or electrical work. Tell us about opening, closing or securing problems so any specialist assessment can be identified before the cover work is agreed.
Can you confirm the price and timing from photos?
Photos and vehicle details help us start the discussion. The final estimate and schedule depend on inspection, suitable product availability and any related issues. We agree on the scope, cost and timing before work begins.
