CONVERTIBLE ROOF UPHOLSTERY
A considered finish, roof included.
A convertible’s soft top plays an important part in the appearance of the car. If the roof covering or associated upholstery needs attention, we can discuss the condition of the materials and the work required.
The roof is part of the design.
A soft top is one of the most visible surfaces on a convertible.
Its material, shape and fit can influence the appearance of the entire vehicle, whether the roof is raised or folded away.
We undertake convertible hood replacement and soft-top upholstery restoration for classic and modern vehicles. The work is considered in relation to the existing roof covering, its condition, fit and surrounding trim. Each project is assessed individually so that the appropriate approach can be discussed before work begins.
The first step is to establish the vehicle’s condition and what needs attention.
Start with the condition of the covering.
Soft tops can develop visible wear or damage over time. The appropriate upholstery work depends on the roof construction, the material and the nature of the problem.
When contacting us, explain what you have noticed and include clear photographs of the roof, both overall and close to the affected area.
We can then discuss the appropriate approach and whether an inspection would be necessary.
A finish that belongs to the car.
For any roof-trimming project, the material and its relationship with the vehicle’s design are important considerations.
The aim is to understand the existing finish, the desired appearance and the work involved before proceeding.
If you have a particular result in mind, describe it in your enquiry.
