Default Boat Top repair

I tBoned my boat top for a NR Mariner this weekend backing into my garage. I forgot to put the top down and two of the alluminum rods were bent significantly. Any suggestion for the best place to either repair or replace?

Thanks for the reply but There is nothing torn. Two alluminum bars are bent in half. I have used one of your suggested vendors, but do not believe they deal with straightening or replacing allouminum rods.

Haxton's in Clackamas. After all, he most likely produced the patterns used for your top.

I would also look at any machine shop that has a good rep-- any of these places worth their salt can bend metal back to the right alignment.............
