Can't find anyone to work on my top

I'm new here. Just bought a really nice 91 RS convertible. I was in a hurry and must have forgotten to set the latches when I put the top up, becuase it popped up while I was driving down the interstate. Now it takes some force to seat the top into the front latches, and the windows leak worse than before. I've had no luck finding somebody that knows how to do anything more than put new tops on (the fabric part). This is not something I want to tackle myself. Can anyone recommend some place that actually has experience working on convertible tops? I would like to find some place in GA, but I will drive around the southeast to get it fixed if I have to. Next choice would be TN. Any ideas?

Bruce is who i'd try.. Other than finding a frame off a wrecked one in good shape i think you may be in trouble. .. last i was at hawks, he had a couple extras in the back, dont know what condition they were in though...
