RE: Convertible top replacement cost
As my father once told my brother when he let a big nasty SBD at the dinner table one night,
"Damn boy!, something must have crawled up in you and died!" LOL
Just what were you eating P??????

5 year top is a good one!!?? Good grief!! The top I have now is 10 years old! Does that mean a new top every 5 years? I found a top that was guaranteed for life for ~$500. Just have to have it installed. Wonder what that would cost?
Do you have to replace the glass when you replace the top or can they reuse the glass I have?

I had no idea that replacements are so expensive. I always assumed that replacements were no big deal $400-$500 all inclusive. When you are at the upholstery shop, how about asking about maintenance. I live in the Macon, Georgia, area and I have seen plenty of rag tops driving around that are covered with black mold because of all the humidity. I sure would like to know if you can put some type of product on the canvas to prevent mold from growing like Scotchgard.

When you finally get your top done, please let us know the results. I am currently looking at mustangs and am debating on a convertible or a hardtop.

How do you maintain the convertible top? I saw on another thread that there is some hydraulics involved. All this is so new to me so I am going to ask lots of questions. Forgive me for being born a woman!!!
Really, when I go out to buy ANYTHING EXPENSIVE, I try to be an informed consumer. I do a lot of research before purchasing stuff which is why I ask lots of questions because I am totally ignorant about cars.
Hopefully by the time I find the right car, I will know what to look for!! This forum has been great because I have learned so much just by reading the old postings.
