Took my 92 contvertible to WNJ Upoholstery in Hatboro for a new top and new seat covers. Bill Neapolitan owner of WNJ did a great job I did some quote shopping before taking it to him, all the prices I was quoted were close to Bill's. He advertises in the Gas Cap which led me to calling him in the first place then after asking around the club, folks that have used him said they were very satisfied with his work. Looks like a new car. Thumbs Up to WNJ.
Don, did you upgrade to a glass window? I need to replace my top soon, thanks for the recommendation.
Any pics?

Ron I thought about it but the procedure to upgrade to a new glass window also requires severe modifications to the top's skeleton. The cost did not justify the results in my eyes. I figure that if I take good care of the top, like keeping the car covered with a sheet while in the garage to protect it from pollutents, never cleaning the window while dry and putting a piece of linen over the window before folding the top down it should last a long time. Don't get me wrong I would really prefer a glass window but the $$$ spent on that could go to a better cause, food, mortgage, tuition etc... :rolleyes:

Notice the tight fit between the fiberglass and the base of the top

Bill also replace my sport seat covers with a set I had bought last year at Carlisle. I asked Bill to replace the bolsters with a higher quality leather the bolster is always the first part of the seat to show its age. Bill made the bolster replacement by hand.
Very nice! The top really looks great with a tight fit.

You're right about that Dan. I had some reservations about buying buying it because I thought they would be hard to keep clean. But surprizingly it's not so bad. I'll tell you what when I leave the top down on a very hot sunny day the seats are as cool as a cucumber.
