FW: replacing the top

[Brian Honnold <bhonnold@pac-cap.com>]

There is a shop in Southern California who still carries the Brittax tops. 
 They have all the replacement parts and do reupholstering of the original 
weathershields tops.  They can do a real nice canvas outer and headliner or 
custom inner for under $300.

The shop is called Sunroof Performers.  You can get a hold of them at 
213-564-5019.

I have spent the past month trying to find a qualified shop in the 
Sacramento are to redo mine but they all want like $350-400.  I am going to 
ship mine to So. Cal in about a week.

Drop me a note, I'd love to chat with a fellow ragtop owner.
