Got mine through http://www.aabestco.com

Great service, great fit.  Acrylic three window in boat cover blue.
Paid Kris Knight at Fine Auto Trim in Boise to install.  He's done
about a thousand of them.  In by 9, out by noon.  Couldn't be happier.

Why aabestco? When I was looking for blue canvas, they were the ONLY
vendor that sent me swatches of the fabric when I asked. Blue was a
custom build and two days before my appointment with Kris, I received
the package.  Canvas in tan.  Called aabestco, explained the error
and told the young lady that the canvas was going to be installed on
schedule and that I would expect a refund of the "custom" surcharge.
Instead of an argument, she told me that the right canvas would be
installed on schedule. They overnighted the correct canvas and a
return label for the wrong one.  Was in my hands at 5 pm the next
day.  No extra charge and no complaints, just an apology and from my
perspective, outstanding service.

I strongly suspect that they're a "broker" since they're located on
the right coast and the canvas came from the left coast, but, once
again, I could not be happier with the customer service I received.
Excellent experience. Simply outstanding. Well worth the slight
premium over other vendors.

YMMV, but it would really surprise me.  Good folks.

Jim
