How much in labor did you guys pay to replace your tops? I've had quotes from $300 to $600.

$350 for mine BUT it included a lot of labor to straighten out bow #4 that was bent all to s*&^ took him 4 or 5 hours extra labor to fix that....



otherwise would have been 275 in Richardson, TX

also agree with $400 for topsonline top with the glass instead of plastic

I paid $300 in the Northern California east bay area, where EVERYTHING is expensive. That was just for the install though, I got the black canvas top with the glass window for my car then tinted it black. Looks very nice and the job was done very well. I'd go back to that company if I ever needed any more upolstery work.
