way out of my area but I will 'bump' this one in the hope someone more local will see it.

Is Blackpool within range? DC Trim


Stourbridge a bit nearer, Central TVR

There are a surprising (to me anyway) number of small trim shops around, not TVR specific but no doubt capable of sticking a bit of fabric on a roof panel wink

Dave the Trimmer, Milton Keynes gets very good reviews and is not too far away from you.

Are you intending having the full roof done? ie "pram hood" and both targa panels?

Have you considered using Renovo or Furniture Clinic hood restorer products?

How about a folding "Surrey" roof from www.cambria-cirrus.com?
It replaces the two hard targa panels.

There is always the cheaper option....leave the targa panels in the boot....after all, you are not a Chimera owner... wink

I'd say that's poor. TVRs often leak round the door seals and the front bulkhead but not often through the roof section itself. The rear window stitching is another area.
