Cleaning/Dying/Conditioning
I've been quoted $150.00 for the following:
Cleaning my ragtop
Dying the fabric (3 applications) to get it back to clean and new looking
Conditioning the top so it should last a few more years (its really shrunk)
Is this a good price?

Usually, it is hard to dye a vinyl top if it ever has had some type of oily protectant on the vinyl because the dye can't "bite" or adhere to the old vinyl. It is a terrible idea if it is a cloth top like on the '04 Cobra's. The top will look off color or shaded instead of all one color.
If the top is shrunk bad, it's just a matter of time before you need to replace it. Probably has had "Armor-all" or some other protectant with silicones in it. I make my living off that stuff.
