Go to the dealer. My friend and I both needed replacement tops for our BMWs. I went to the dealer and mine is perfect. She went non dealer and the color is totally off. The difference was a few hundred dollars.

Bob's seat covers (Leesburg) does an excellent job, did my 2012 Mustang, as I recall the cost was about $900 for labor the cost of the top was also about that as I went for the better cloth top and not the vinyl top. This was about 3 years ago.

I have rebuilt 10 cars (ground up), 8 early Mustangs, and there are 2 items I will not DIY, automatic transmissions and convertible tops. The instructions are written in a language that I do not understand, with the assumption that you understand their terminology and slang.

If they were located next to Total Recon then Bob's Seat Covers is out of business. Believe the owner passed away.

If Bob's is gone, does anyone have any other suggestions? I need a 2013 VW Beetle convertible top replaced.

Check with the VW dealership, if they don't do the work I'll bet they know who does. Check with a few body repair shops, I would imagine they know places to get the top replaced.
