Default What shop does SOFT TOP replacements in SF?

need to replace my ripped and cut soft top on my 2005

being quoted $1700 by 2 shops, one shop said they will do it for $1600 cash

they said its a 12hr job to put on the top on the frame.

or anybody have a good used top on the frame?

or know of a cheaper place?

That sounds about right. When I did mine I was quoted between $1600 and $2000, I also had many people turn me away because 'it's not an easy car to work on' and they 'swore they'd never do one again.'

i have a very good condition softtop for $850, but you will have to find a shop to install it for you... i did it in 4 hours... and it sucks.

^ If you buy Alan's top. I can refer you to one of my crew mechanics, who will install it in Daly City. He's done 2 or 3 now.
