    Looking to replace/repair the rear hatch upholstery on a 196

    I have a few minor tears in one of the rear cargo hatches of my 05' 196 and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for upholsters in the North Texas area. Also, if you have had this work performed on your boat what would you consider to be fair price to recover both hatches so they match? Thanks for the input.

    Someone once posted the name of a highly recommended shop in your area. ...maybe who Buxton subs out to.

    Might have been last summer...maybe you can search for it. I wanted to put it in my file...but I don't think I did.

    Or just call Buxton's.

      I used a franchise called Dr Vinyl and they are in most major markets. I've also contacted Benz and Caddie dealers to see who they use. Normally they get some of the best local people for their cars.

        Someone mentioned collins interior in colleyville in a prior thread when I asked. I have not used them, however, so cannot say. I have two pieces presently with Ski-n-Sport in Tyler, but they are not done yet. These are complete re-does using Christines skins, so I'm not sure if that would be comparable to your project.
