Looking for a place in the DC Metro area (DC/VA/MD... I'll drive if their work is good) that does good work on convertible tops. Any suggestions/recommendations?
Many thanks,

i'd stay away from adler and mandel in rockville. i had a lot of problems with them installing a new top on my e30. i ended going back to them 4 different times just to get the job done correctly.

If you want to come this far, Northwest BMW did a perfect job on Senior Moment. Total replacement thanks to the neighbor who wanted my radar detector....
Not sure what it will cost with member discount, because the Geico paid for mine.

Thanks. It's always good to know who not to go to.Quote:

Try Joe's Upholstery on Patrick Street in Frederick MD. The owner's name is Don. He is a great guy.

Hello, does anyone have the number for LIMs? I have a small tear in my driver's seat, and I wanted to see how much he would charge to fix it. Are there any other places you would recommend?
Thanks,
Kevin
The number was 703-893-7373 - not sure if it has changed.Quote:

Many years ago got some consultation on a Dodge convertible rear window (got rid of car before I replaced it..). At that time, the elder Mr. Lim was in charge. Now his son and his former Manager are running it...had two items done on my 328iC...the rear sail plastic thingys and (well - his fault) a new rear window. Excellent...
