Default T-top repair

I have a 1982 Collector and the passenger side T-top has the glass in front separated from the frame. Can anyone tell me where or who does repair to T-tops? I have seen the websites for aftermarket acrylic lens tops but I'm not interested in that. I want to get my original mirrored glass top repaired. I had a name and number some months ago of someone that did this repair but have since lost it. If anyone can help, it will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom B.

ttt...

I know there is a website out there somewhere of a place that does t-top repair for vettes and F-bodies. I had a broken M1131 mirror glass top dilemma a couple months ago and another forum member directed me to that site.

By the way, welcome to the forum! This place is a wealth of information. Stick around and you might just get as addicted as most of us are.

I'll check my old email and see if I can get you in touch with the place that was reccommended to me.

I believe the owner's name is Derek Harkema. His email is harkema@tbcnet.com

Hope this helps.

They produce new tops and repair broken ones. They are a major
supplier to corvette parts vendors but also sell direct. Have purchased
new Tops from them and received fast service and the quality was
excellent.
