Default Cab Top Repair

Does anyone have experience with replacing just some of the stitching on the cab top? Overall the top is in fantastic shape but the double-line stitching at the left & right rear corners has started to fail. It seems to be due more to thread-rot rather than the top shrinking and pulling. All other areas the hood and stitching is fine. Is it a feasible repair?
Thanks.

I would start with a reputable upholstery shop in your area.

You can also look into just having the plastic in the rear window replaced if it is starting to look bad. I have heard of it being done on an otherwise nice top. I have actually thought about having mine swapped out for tinted plastic like those on the side of a newer Jeep....I wonder how that would look?
