can anyone give me some advice as to whether it is possible to re stitch the convertible roof?

The stitching on the roof around the window and on other areas is disappearing however the roof material is in very good condition ie no rips tears. Can it be done?

Seems crazy to pay for a new roof when it's only the stitching that is on the way out, maybe some tent repairers have the ability to restitch whilst the roof is still on frame ? Wishful thinking I know
