Convertible Top and Upholstery Shop near Orland Park
Orland Park has a strong car culture. On a summer weekend you'll see convertibles, classics, and weekend cars everywhere, from Cars & Coffee gatherings to shopping-center car shows. Don's Auto Interiors & Tops in nearby Alsip has been building and repairing convertible tops and interiors for southwest suburban drivers since 1977.
For Orland Park's convertible owners
A convertible that only comes out on nice days still needs a top that seals, latches, and looks right. Orland Park owners usually come to us for:
- Full top replacement: vinyl or cloth, with new rear windows and a check of pads, cables, and weatherstripping. See convertible top replacement.
- Rear window repair: cloudy plastic windows replaced, or separated glass windows rebonded when the top is still sound.
- Power top repair: slow, stuck, or uneven tops from hydraulic or frame problems. See convertible top repair.
- Model-specific work on Mustangs, Corvettes, BMWs, Miatas, and classics. See our Mustang and Corvette pages.
Get ready before the season
The area's car season runs on weekends from late spring through fall, including Cars & Coffee meetups like the ones held at Christ Lutheran Church on 94th Avenue. If you want your top or interior done before the first show, book in winter or early spring. Top installations take 8 to 12 hours of shop time and aren't a same-day job.
Interiors for show cars and daily drivers
Some Orland Park customers want a concours-quality interior for a classic. Others just want a worn driver's seat fixed on the family SUV. We do both:
- Single-panel seat repair and full recovers in leather, vinyl, or cloth
- Custom and classic interiors designed with you and built from scratch
- Carpet sets, door panels, and headliners
- Seat heater and lumbar support installation
See auto upholstery and headliner replacement.
Boats and motorcycles
Many Orland Park households have a boat or a bike in the garage too. We recover boat seats in marine vinyl, rebuild waterlogged foam and rotted seat bases, make and repair canvas covers and bimini tops, and recover and customize motorcycle seats. Off-season drop-offs are the easiest way to be ready for spring. See boat upholstery, boat covers and canvas, and motorcycle seats.
Orland Park businesses
Gyms, salons, medical and dental offices, and restaurants along LaGrange Road and beyond all have seating that wears out. We reupholster gym benches, treatment tables, dental chairs, booths, and bar stools, and B2B partners receive discounted rates. See commercial upholstery.

Before you bring in a show car
If your car is headed to shows, tell us up front. It changes how we plan the job:
- We'll talk about correct materials and colors for your year if originality matters.
- We'll allow time to inspect and adjust the frame before the top goes on, since that's what makes a top look right closed up.
- We'll go over break-in and care so the new top settles properly before the season.
