    I would think you would need to have the corners sewn together by someone with experience...

    A friend of mine had some & had the same problem. That happens over time with those hats. You may find some shops may not tackle the job. But im sure there are some that would in your area. If you were up here in Maine there is Hill's Upholstery that will do grills & more. Old timers that do great work are out there. GL with you project
