Biminis

A Bimini top is an open-front canvas top for the cockpit of a boat, usually supported by a metal frame. Most Bimini’s can be collapsed when not in use, and raised again if shade or shelter from rain is desired. The Bimini is used mostly as protection from the sun; it offers no protection from wind, rain, or spray when moving forward at any speed. Rain protection is only given if the boat is stationary and there is not any wind.

We provide custom Bimini Solutions for all crafts. We can create Open front canvas top Bimini’s supported by strong frames. Most of the work on boats we do is custom work. No job is too big or small. We have worked on boats from 14ft right through to 40,50ft .

Consoles

Console

High-end cars such as Ferraris, Maseratis and older Porsches have leather covered consoles. This leather eventually becomes faded, scratched and torn. Just as we can reupholster the seats, dash and panels, we can also reupholster the console in matching leather with original French seams.

Faded consoles that are otherwise in good condition may be redyed to restore the original color. The color of the console can also be changed as part of a complete interior colour change.

It is quite common in many cars, even if the console is plastic, to have a leather or vinyl covered armrest lid. From many miles of elbow usage these armrests often tear or develop a worn and flattened appearance.
If so, we can repad and reupholster this section.

Complete wood, carbon fiber or aluminum dash kits also typically include pieces to customize the console.

Another component in the console area which tends to wear prematurely is the shift boot on manual transmission cars. These boots can be remade in leather or can be customized in a variety of colors, two-tone, suede, etc. The emergency brake handle can also be reupholstered or redyed.

Many options in custom shift knobs are also available, including anatomic or ball shaped knobs in leather, wood or metal.

Console Repair & Replacement

Old broken consoles in popular restoration models, such as muscle cars, can be completely replaced, or parts of them can be replaced.
For other vehicles such as older Mercedes with console plates and separate console side panels, these components can also be partially or completely replaced.

Generic, economical consoles with many of these features are also available in a variety of colors for minivans or four wheel drives to mount between bucket seats or on bench seats.

Entertainment consoles incorporate TV/VCR/DVD/game players for those in the back seat on long trips.

Convertible Tops

Fold the top down, let the sun in on your face and let the wind blow back your hair. It’s great driving a convertible, but eventually your top and window are going to need to be replaced.
DA Motor Trimming offers the most complete line of high quality tops for virtually every convertible ever made, as well as expert installation.

Carpeting, Rubber & Vinyl Floors

Contour-Sewn Carpets

For most import models, floor carpeting is designed in a multi-piece configuration. It is cut and sewn to cover separate areas such as main and rear floors, side rails, transmission tunnels, kick panels, and rear bulkheads or decks, etc.
New, jute padding and sewn on heel plates are included with all carpet sets as well as shift boots where needed.

Molded Carpets

For some models from the early 1970’s to current, the floor carpeting is molded to the shape of the floor pan. That is, sheets of carpet are put into an oven and heated. They are then placed in a mold and pressed to the shape of the floor. The carpet is removed from the mold, it cools, is trimmed and retains the contour of the floor pan, with no need for any sewn seams.

Don’t forget to also refinish the trunk area of your car. Trunk mats, as well as tire covers and side walls, may be made from plush carpeting or trunk lining material.
Station wagon and hatchback cargo area carpet is also available.

Carpet for Other Trim Areas

In addition to floor carpeting, for most models, we also offer carpeting to cover the rear seat backrest, the cargo side walls, the tailgate, the door bottoms and kick panels.

Molded Vinyl

For the work truck which may get dirty or muddy, washable, heavy gague molded vinyl is available for the complete floor, just the main seating area or just the cargo area.

Specialty Padding

Jute Padding

The standard 1/4” feltlike padding included on the bottom of most carpet sets. Additional jute padding is available to provide extra insulation.

Heat Shield

For use when excessive heat is a problem. This is jute padding with a layer of aluminum laminated to one side which will reflect the heat away from the seating area.

Soundown

A thick 1/4” acoustical foam laminated to a layer of acoustical vinyl. This is superior sound dampening carpet underlayment.

Dynamat

To reduce road and engine noise. Thin, self adhesive padding will mold to contoured floor pans. It will help create a quieter interior and provide for better stereo sound.
