Thank you for the information, these guys look awesome. Unfortunately they aren't near me - anyone know of a similar service near Lake Tahoe, CA/NV.

    Hi Eddie P,

    Didn't find anything for the Lake Tahoe area but there are a couple listed in Reno....


    Able Restoration Inc - www.ablerestorationnv.com
    213 Sage St # 6A, Reno
    (775) 324-3422


    Smitty's Vinyl Repair
    Reno, NV 89501
    (775) 358-0107


    Another alternative is to talk any local auto body shops if they know or deal with any local Vinyl Repairs services.

    Good luck and let me know if any of these work out for you,
    WetWilly

    Wanted to post a follow up on this thread as I have had some time to break in the repairs. Unfortunately due to the high heat and intense sun in AZ some of the repairs have not held up very well, primarily the headrests which get direct sunlight as I do not use my Bimini often(prefer sunscreen). Some spots did hold up fine so I am not sure if he used a different technique on different areas. If anyone else has had the proceedure done please chime in, I would like to know if it was an inexperienced tech or the process itself.

    I do know the person who did your repairs has been doing this work for appx 5 years. There are only two people who work in AZ for Fibrenew (they are independant contractors).....the person who did mine has been working for the past eight months and he did a good job as well. So far the repairs are holding up......according to the guy who did mine, he said the areas repaired should be stronger than any other area. Not sure if your guy used a diff process......my repair guy was taught by yours, so Im not sure what went wrong. Give your guy a call and see if he will come back out and re-do the repair.........
