Hi guys - noticed today the headliner on my coupe is starting to droop slightly - anyone know of any reputable shops in the Miami - Fort Lauderdale area? I was thinking instead of just repairing the fabric line to maybe do it in leather.

Thanks

About 5 years ago, Universal Auto Upholstery replaced my convertible top and custom upholstered my seats. The good news is that I believe that they are STILL in business, the price was right AND they let me watch them install the top. After the top experience, I asked about the seats. That's when they made it a "package deal".

It's on the west side of University Dr. south of Commercial Blvd.

I also used them to replace my top on my C4, along with headliner and conversion kit to replace the plastic window with glass window.
I also use work at car dealership and sent all our Lincoln's to his shop for repairs. He does outstanding job, and never went to Upholstery Shop has clean has his job is, you can eat off the floor.

Thanks! I am going to try and get there this week and see what we can set up --- wondering if they can wrap the steering wheel as well make it a little thicker.

Thanks for the lead - much appreciated.
