Upholstery shop for cosmetics?

Kevin,

Cessna can probably provide one, but I'm guessing the lead time would be several weeks. Last time I checked prices on these, a couple years back, they were over $1100 bucks. You might give Yingling in Wichita a call, as they generally know what's on hand at the factory.

If you're in need of just replacing the padded portion on the forward lip that often cracks from 'hand-holds' and sun damage, the entire glareshield can be removed from the airplane and sent out for refurbishing. Flightcraft at KPDX use to have a sub-contractor upholstery shop that did this kind of work and the prices were real reasonable, around $200 bucks for a new leather-stitched lip. Saw one installed on a Hawk XP and it was real sharp.
