    I have a 1991 BMW 325 i soft top convertible that I recently purchased that RECENTLY received about a 14" straight rip in the top. If anyone has any suggestions on who will fix it or how to fix without replacing the whole top please respond.

        A point for effort but something a bit more unhickish.

          If there's a boat harbor nearby, there's most likely a canvas worker somewhere in the area. I worked at a Canvas shop in Two Rivers for many years, and we repaired at least a dozen vert tops for various cars..

              Try Automotive Top and Trim in Neenah 725-9949. They've been around quite awhile.

                Do you have the name of the canvas shop in two rivers? Oh and the neenah place I called already and they will only replace for about 1500 dollars and I'm only 16 working part time so that wouldn't happen for a few months thank you though.

                  Its called Dockside Canvas, but the owner is thinking about retiring so I'm not sure if he'll want to take any more little side jobs 😕

                    They make a glue for it and patches. Im sure a local parts store has something. Otherwise you could sew it, but it might look pretty noticeable.

                      Well all the responses are much appreciated I solved it for only $10 out of pocket and about 1 and a half hour of labor. Found some of the exact same fabric with some bish fabric glue and I sewed the hole shut then applied the patch and glue.
