Default Convertible Top Replacement - Shop Recommendations?

Anyone in Central Florida replaced their top yet? Mine's developing the stand wear points at about 48,000 miles, 3 years 10 mos ownership. I'm in the Orlando area. A friend told me about a place in Indian Harbour Beach, A-1 Auto Tops and Upholstery. Another thread I saw recommended buying the top direct from a certain Honda shop ($850) and installing it yourself. I think I'd rather have a top specialist do it though.

Any recommendations? Especially if you've had it done.

Thanks,

Ray

I'll modify the question:

Has anyone here had to replace their top yet? Has anyone experienced any wear? I saw some other threads with people experiencing the same wear (right behind the door window glass where the top folds).

I'll need to replace mine soon and want to get it done right, preferrably with a glass backlight.

Fortunately, mine is still in good shape. I would be curious about your replacement though, as I never found a good place to replace the top on m Alfa. Does the Honda dealer do it?

Good Luck...

I need to replace the top on my 2000 (model yr). It's developed two holes/tears and the fabric seems to be weakening. Looking for someone in the Winter Springs/Orlando area. Any suggestions appreciated.
