Guest packer126 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I have a 1991 BMW 325 i soft top convertible that I recently purchased that RECENTLY received about a 14" straight rip in the top. If anyone has any suggestions on who will fix it or how to fix without replacing the whole top please respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ryan... Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 If there's a boat harbor nearby, there's most likely a canvas worker somewhere in the area. I worked at a Canvas shop in Two Rivers for many years, and we repaired at least a dozen vert tops for various cars.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Hammerdown Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Try Automotive Top and Trim in Neenah 725-9949. They've been around quite awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest packer126 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Do you have the name of the canvas shop in two rivers? Oh and the neenah place I called already and they will only replace for about 1500 dollars and I'm only 16 working part time so that wouldn't happen for a few months thank you though.

0 Ryan... Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Its called Dockside Canvas, but the owner is thinking about retiring so I'm not sure if he'll want to take any more little side jobs :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 need4speed1299 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 They make a glue for it and patches. Im sure a local parts store has something. Otherwise you could sew it, but it might look pretty noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest packer126 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Well all the responses are much appreciated I solved it for only $10 out of pocket and about 1 and a half hour of labor. Found some of the exact same fabric with some bish fabric glue and I sewed the hole shut then applied the patch and glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
