A new soft top for the S. Looks like there are some Canadian distributors for Robbins. 
I'm thinking: buy the top sometime over the next couple of months, then start saving for the labour it's gonna cost to have it installed.

Ditto.
I need to investigate the labor required.

There's NO way I'm doing it myself (or even with help) based on what I've read. Pretty sure I'd blow a gasket. Looks like it takes about 8-10 hours to do it...I doubt the local dealer has ever done one, so I may just put out feelers with the local car group.

Which brands are you looking at? I've not done a ton of research yet but the Robbins ones seem to be well-liked. In Canada they're about $1300 with the defroster (it's only another $40 for the defroster so worth it for me).

I'd replace my twice-cracked plastic with glass, though it doesn't make a ton of sense to put in the defroster.

Easy as pie!
