Most boat shops can do convertibles, and some upholstery places too.  I
got a 6 foot zipper from a boat shop but decided not to put it on my top-
everything else has perished so I'd end up with just the zipper after a
few months ;-)

There's good info on top installation at the VTR web site... I think it's
around the TR4 maintenance area.
