Finally, my car will be ready tomorrow, after some ahole cut the rag about 2 weeks ago in an attempt to steal her. Eventhough it's only been 2 weeks, w/ this great weather, it seems like forever to a convertible owner. Everyday on my way to work in my pick-up, when i see a drop top, i become filled w/ rage , & then alittle sad . Can you all relate?

Anyways, i'm just excited about getting her back, and had to tell someone.

Friendly Electronics in Richardson TX. It was a preferred service provider from my insurance. The cloth looks as good as new. And it doesn't leek anymore when i wash it. I assume they must have realigned it.

I hear you man. This happened to me back in April. It's the pain that someone just hurt your baby. I had my top replaced at an upholstery shop. The job was not perfect but good enough for me.

I had the same thing happen a couple years back to my '96 Formula...some jerk came along and cut a 2' gash in the back of the top.
It enrages me thinking about it to this day!
Fortunately,if done properly,a replacement rag top will look good as new...for about $1200!
