I need to replace the soft top of my 1970 MBZ 280 SL. I purchased the original! Any ideas?

I would simply google car convertible trimmers/shops, there's bound to be a few near you.

Sal,

By posting in the Full Members sub-forum you are narrowing your audience.  The majority of members are basic (non-paying) members.

Also, except for restricted sub-forums like this one, the forums are readable by the public.  Generally speaking, assume every maliciuos person and computer program in the world can see you name, email, phone number when you post them.

Best of luck finding a soft top installer.

Sal - You might check with Brian Peters at Motoring Investments in San Diego.  He is one of the best Pagoda guys anywhere.

Good luck

Thank you all responding! I accidentally found an upholstery guy in Chula Vista with incredible experience with Pagodas upholstery issues! And next to him a Pagoda Mechanic! Got lucky!🙏
