Convertible Top

I need to find someone in SW Florida to replace my Vert Top. Its starting to show its age. Does anyone reccommend a shop that acn do this? I assume it would be an upholstery or body shop
Thanks all Danny

Ask your dealership who they farm out to, might want to post this in the Regional section as well.

Sarasota, FL Conv. Top

I took my 02 to:

Callender Auto Tops & Upholstery
2234 2nd St.
Sarasota FL 34327
941-957-1699

I forgot the owners name but they have done many C5's. Great standup guy. After 6 months i noticed a seal problem around my back window, took it back and they warrantied out another top, no questions asked.

Thanks for the thread.

Thanks for the input. I totally forgot about Kustom Kar Tops here in Ft Myers. I want to replace the white top and can get OEM at a good price. I will check out Robbins tops though. Thanks again to forum members
