    I run a busy automotive only shop. I was working by myself and now I have taken on an apprentice. I have been getting tons of inquiries about doing auto convertible tops. Does any body know of anywhere I could go to get some training for myself and my apprentice so I feel more comfortable. I would pay for the training at a private shop if anyone on here is interested. I am in BC Canada but I would travel wherever to get it.

    I'd be happy to give you any advice on line or via phone whether on general installation or specifics.

    Convertible top work is not that difficult if you have some idea of the process and how to repair problems with the top frame. I am available for on site training. Also, the new convertible top book will be available in March.

    I am located in Kamloops. I would come to your shop or pay for you to come to mine. I have at least 3 convertibles that I am doing the interior on and have had lots of inquiries. I understand the basics of them but would like some hands on training for me and my apprentice.

    What are the most common convertible tops that you are getting requests for? German, American or Japanese?
