Just purchased an 87 Targa and want to recover the targa top. Can anyone recommend a company that has experience recovering targa roofs.

 

Where are you located? There is a local shop here in Campbell that does a good job of recovering for about $700. You also may have a local upholstery shop near you that can do it. I've heard good things about this place:
http://www.carsinc-nj.com/targa.html . There is an older gentleman that is reputed to do excellent work but I don't have his contact info here at work. I'll post it after I get home.

 

+1 on Dan at CarsInc. you can even do a swap if you need a top right away. He is the guy for our Targas

If you need the 2 manuals, PM me your e-mail address and I will send them to you

 

+1. That is Dan Petchel's company, and they are located in New Jersey. Personally, I'd go with him as he has a great reputation on this board...

I got my 78 targa roof back from Dan last week it was perfect and worth the money. Guess I won't need his services again for 30 years.

 

Has anyone used Dan Brown in Colorado?

 

Dave Brown in Boulder, CO (303.499.0110) also does an excellent job and has loaners available. Had mine redone 2 years ago. Still extremely pleased with the results. Went with the Rough grain and had to provide measurements at the top mounting points--was local so not an issue. With a new headliner and foam, made a big difference.

I have also simply replaced the top covering with one of the kits available thru Pelican or others sources a number of years ago. Easy to do and an inexpensive fix.

Thanks for the info. Spoke to Dan and I'm FedEx'ing him my top Monday morning.

 

Please post pics of the new top.

 

I bought my targa from Dan Petchel - he is the targa top resource!
