So, with the guy who was asking about how hard it was to replace on his own, i started calling around to finaly replace mine.
Just wondering what everyone else has paid (parts AND labor)?
I called 3 places within 2 hours of my home and here was my outcome:

First place, about 10 miuntes away from me: "Every car is different, it could take more time than the last car like ours, or it could take less, its hard to tell and give an accurate price beforehand. I would say it's going to be between $1400 and $1700 but probably closer to the 16-1700 end of things"
FUKC HIM.

Second place, about 2 hours away: Guy seemed nice and gave more detailed info on replacing a vert top, not just some BS about how it will probably take a while and he will find some way to jack the price up durring instalation, like the previous guy implied. quoted me $950 parts and labor.

Third place. About 1 hour away, right around the corner from my companies main warehouse: This guy knew his shlt. Told me that if the pads and cables were worn and needed replacing, i would be notified durring the in-person estimate. If it needs them, and I opt out, NO warranty. If it needs them and I go through with it, 5 year warranty. Said if my top is sailcloth it would be $845 and if it was some other material i didn't remember, it would be $878. And he said they do things to nothing but OE specs.


What does everyone else pay out there around the country?

good luck. between the vert guys i've talked to, and the shops that replace tops that i've talked too.. i've heard nothing but horror stories about that. No one has said anything but "take it to a pro" when i mentioned doing it myself lol.

I just had mine redone last month for $700.00+ tax. The place did it while I waited & it took 4 1/2 hours at a pro place with all the right tools. The price included a heated back window also. I never really liked the tan top that was on the car, so I had it replaced with a black one.
