I don't remember who I spoke to but someone recommended a company on the north side that did a good job with convertible tops.  I noticed a fluid leak (turned out to be the pump) when I put it into storage last fall doh and I also need to have a water leak taken care of.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I used Premier in Rogers for my new top. Very happy, not cheap but good quality work.

If you need help replacing the pump let me know, I did mine and it was a pretty easy job.

Could it have been Fred of Interiors by Fred?

As it turns out it looks like the plug fell out of the top of the pump.  I'll fill it up and see what happens.  I still want someone to see if they can check out my water leaks.  Thanks for the help!

Yellow Dog Upholstery is also very good. He was doing an Impala top when I had my car there.

Rick, I have a home made system to fill the pump and eliminate the air bubbles when you do if you want it. Whatever you do don't overfill it. I think there is a sticky on team chevelle in convertibles on filling the pump.

Thanks Jon, Fred walked me through that process and I have that all working well at least so far.  Thanks for the offer!
