Convertible Top Repair?

Does anybody know of a good place in SOCAL/San Diego area to fix a cut/tear in a convertible top?

If it's a tear, best you can probably hope for is a temporary fix as the tear is most likely from typical shrinkage. If it's in the typical small hole just behind the drain pocket, a lot of people simply fill it with black silicone adhesive to at least seal the water out.

Only good fix is to simply replace the top, again because yours has shrunk past tolerance. I go a place in La Puente, as to a lot of my friends.

That's pretty far for me to go for a Convertible repair, hopefully someone knows a place here in San Diego.
