Well, the issue with convertible tops is that it’s a specialized skill to stretch canvas that’s more akin to upholstery than it is to collision repair. This shop is supposed to be good at that—but maybe not anything else.
Will confirm today. |

Installing convertible tops is challenging. I replaced the canvas on my old car and regretted not taking it somewhere. It turned out great, but it was a bitch.
Having said that, I simply won't do business with people who act like they're doing me a favor taking in my work. I don't need to be coddled, but a little bit of bedside manner goes a long way towards convincing me that you give a fuck . |

You can't tell me that a reputable body shop never fixes convertibles. There must be a Porsche certified body shop around you somewhere.

Where'd you get it done, and what was the outcome on sourcing the frame?
