Canvas roof repair


DR986

Recommended Posts

Hi - the stitching on the window of the canvas roof on my 2001 986 has perished.   I have found 2 firms which can repair this for about £250.  One in cheshire another in Liverpool.   They move the roof, attach a new window and put it back on.   They both promise the new window is bonded to original hood using the same method as used in the factory.  Has anyone had any experience of this ?  I'm trying to avoid buying a whole new roof for £1500+.  Cheers

@DR986 I had this done on my hood by Gary Hubbard @ Hubbard Upholstery in Loughborough about 6 years ago, an excellent job.

Had mine done 3 years ago by @gary hubbard too.  Yes. he uses the latest equivalent of the clear vinyl originally used (original material is no longer available.  It is both bonded and stitched in place.  You prices seem fair to what I paid back then.  Took 2 hours whilst I waited and chatted with him on a sunny day.  Gary is in Loughborough if that helps you.
