    who to replace vinyl top?

    We have our dart in the body shop now getting bodywork and paint, but was not able to work out a deal on the top, which is vinyl.

    Anyone have a vinyl top replaced? If so, who did it and about what did it run you? Thanks

      Not unless someone wants to fix the little rust under it and paint it white Think putting one back on after a little patch work would be best

              There used to be a shop next to db performance that did upholstery work? Don't know anything about them though.

                      you can call precision auto upholstery in Minneapolis 612 861 4637



                      they where very reasonable for pricing. They can get you a top and they will install what you have just so it isn't a cheapo top off eBay or anything like that


                      Currently have Teal 1994 GT 5 speed Coupe and 2010 fusion sport.

                        I had R&R upholstery do the top on my Lesabre Turbo. Really reasonable if the roof is ready to have the new top put on. I had the trim removed and the roof sealed(don't use Rustoleum is the only thing he recommends because it never really dries and remains active so the glue doesn't really stick). With the new material included it only cost me 250.

                          You could try yellow dog upholstery, he worked for premier for 20 years, and now is on his own. He would go to the body shop and do it on site. I don't work for them, but I had a great experience when he fixed my convertible top. 763-238-8241

                              Thanks for the tips guys, I like the R&R, but have two bubbles under the current top that might need a patch welded in first before I coat it with maybe por-15.

                              thanks again
