Slide topper/awning repair in Phoenix
The fabric on my slide topper is made of two pieces of fabric stitched together, with a 12" strip of vinyl near the body of the coach, and then mesh for the rest of the topper. I want to replace only the vinyl, and I want to have it done in Phoenix.
I just want to remove the vinyl and sew in a new section.
I've contacted two awning replacement outfits, and both say this can't be done. But I know people have done it, but not in Phoenix.
Who would do it? Upholstery shop? But I'd like to use actual awning fabric--what is on there now is really sturdy (it's been 14 years of fulltiming), and has what looks almost like fiberglass threads in it, and don't think upholstery shops would have that.
Any suggestions?
