Need convertible repair and/or replacement

Anyone have recommendations for a place to take a 911 Cab for repair or replacement of the rag top?

I would try OB Upholstery on Voltaire: http://www.obupholstery.com/
or Jim's Auto Upholstery on Armour Street: https://www.gahh.com/stores/jims-auto-upholstery.html

I had the top on my 1988 M491 cab replaced at OB upholstery and they did a great job... couple years ago it was ~$1800. My neighbor just had his 993 cab done there last week and it looks great.

I'm sure others do good work too -- that's just my experience.

OB is great.
The other of equal quality is Autos International in Escondido.
Both are extremely knowledgeable of all things Porsche.

+1 for OB Upholstery. Did a great job on several of my projects. They do lots of Euro & American cars. Aske for Dave. Tell 'em you're a PCA guy.
