Anyone know how much an upholsterer would charge to stitch a new plastic rear window into a convertible top?

Question

I accidentally tore mine right down the middle. The price on a new roof is gonna be over $3000. I know it would be a lot less, but anyone have an idea of what stitching a new window in would cost?

Answer 1

i own a repair shop,and my wife owns a sewing shop for cars,,this can be done it has to be done with a walking foot machine that's the only one that will sew it,good but you have to remove the top on some of them to repair the window,,the ones she has done have run around 400 bucks to repair,,but that's still cheaper than a new top is,and it will hold up good,,but you might have a hard time finding someone to do this for you ,,most shops like to replace the top,,for more money..but if you can get someone to do it,,that's a good price for it,,good luck with it,i hoe this help,s.,,have a good x-mas.

Answer 2

no clue at all since labor costs (which is most of what is involved in what you want) vary all over the country and world. Unless you tell someone where you are there is no way that anyone can answer.

Answer 3

never had any luck with that, they always want to sell you a new top :(

take it to a small shop that doesn't do tops and ask him to sew it up :)

the trouble you run into is finding a sewing machine big enough, you might have to do it your self by hand :(
