Just got my new top and need it put on!!
Was going to wait till spring but now that I have it sitting here I want it put on. Can anyone help me put this on or suggest a shop to do it? I have been quoted $380 at my local interior shop. Is this a good price? This shop has done work for me in the past and are top notch. Thanks Mike

$380 is a steal. I have been calling around the shops here in Connecticut and Rhode Island and they want $1200 for labor I would say go for it!

I got the top on ebay. Some guy out of Clearwater Florida. He has blue ones and tan ones. Paid $150 for it. Another kid on here ordered the same top. It's canvas not vinal. I looked for one with a glass window and could not find one on ebay anywhere. When I found this one for the price I grabbed it. The cover is being put on today I will post pictures if all goes well. After this the only thing left to do is have the tonnue cover painted. I tried to paint it myself but it came out terrible.

I can't believe there's a difference in our cars. Maybe another member can chime in. You are very brave to attempt this yourself. I tried to paint my T-cover myself and it came out horrible. Another thing I'll have to pay someone else to do. Anyway, I just went by at 4:30 to check on the progress of my top. Car was siting right where I parked it this morning. They haven't touched it. Hopefully tomorrow I can post some pictures with the new top on. Or God forbid... post that my my top doesn't fit either. We'll see.

MYZ28NH...Hows the new top look? Did it come out nice for $380? I may drive mine up to NH to save $800 on installation. Lets see some pics.

The Top is all done and looks great. I took some pictures of it in the shop but I don't like them cause the cars all dusty. Posted them in another thread. Wish I had brought it home yesterday cause it's snowing heavy now and the roads will be a mess tomorrow when I have to drive it.
He only charged me $360!
I will post some good pictures tomorrow. If anyone needs a top done in New England this is the place to have it done.
