Years ago I purchased a La Baron Boney top for my Phaeton. The edges didn't extend sufficiently and I asked an old timer upholstery man to extend them. He told me it would be easier to make a new top. He did that and I disposed of the LBB.
He also said unless I really wanted to lower the top it would always be better fitting to make it a fixed. I did this and I feel his advise was correct and am please I took it.
