Hire it out to a specialist.

 

When I was younger and worked in a larger independent autobody shop down south, we were DRP - meaning we were partnered with insurance companies (direct repair program). Upholstery/Dash repair and Convertibles tops were always sourced out to specialist shops/individuals who do JUST that and that is it. Obviously up here convertibles are not as big money but there are people who handle it. Rim repair too.

 

It's not something I would want to deal with. Be wary of aftermarket products, too, the variance on fit with tops would make your jaw drop. A cheaper replacement might cost you more in labor and more overall. This is one of those situations where you let the expert choose the replacement part because he takes ownership of it. If the fit is bad, you won't have to deal with the cost of extra labor.
