Default Soft Top Installation

Hello All,
Just had my soft top replaced last weekend. The installer was Jeremy from the Delaware Valley s2k club. I highly recommend using him! Check out his posts on the Delaware Valley page. He goes by 2poor2mod and is currently helping with a group buy on soft tops.

He has done a lot of replacements and knows all the intricacies of getting it done quickly and professionally. I went with the Robbins cloth top. Looks great. Let me know if you have any questions.
Yes, I know, I drove all the way to the other side of the state but my wife and I made a short vacation weekend out of it using credit card points for a free hotel room. There weren't any installers in the Pittsburgh area that I was comfortable with.

If you don't mind my asking what was the total cost for the top and installation?

If you would rather not post it here could you PM me the info.

The cost of the cloth black top is usually $579 from tops online.com
There was a group buy put together by the Delaware Valley club, which you can get in on right now. I paid $519 for the top + free shipping. Great price.
As for the price of installation, please message Jeremy for an installation price. It's a good price but I'd prefer you ask him in case he changes the price based on top purchased, demand of services, etc.

Upload them to the gallery first and then post from there. Posting Pics sucks on this site.

OK, here you go....Pix of my new Robbins Cloth Soft Top. Not sure why these pix are upside down. I give up!

Couple of observations:
The cloth top does attract dust, hair, etc. It will be a little harder to keep clean.
The new Robbins soft tops have reinforcements where the typical S2k tears are happening. Nice added touch.



S2K app for iPad is horrible. Photos uploaded for you to see the new soft top.

New top looks really nice! Thanks for posting pics..

I technically need a top now, but I have it sewn and patched up pretty good. Its just a matter of deciding if I want cloth or vinyl top.
