Default RV-9A Canopy Replacement

I believe that I need my front tip-up canopy replaced for several reasons. There is one crack in the canopy, several cracks in the front in the fiberglas (stress cracks), a missing piece at the right rear, and it doesn't close straight, which is what caused the previous damage. I am not the original builder so I'm probably looking for someone to replace it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I live in South Texas but would be willing to fly it somewhere else to have the work done.
