Default 01 soft top to 02 soft top (glass) who can help?

Does anyone know how much the installation would cost including parts and labor? Swap out the 2001 whole convertible top and replace it with a 2002 up convertible top.

Anyone in Mid-A know how to do it?

that and new ellastic straps. me and 2 other people did this on my 00. i bought a 02 top brand new from my dealership and bought a spare 02 frame. between the 3 of us it took about 8 hours. if we did it again it'd take a lot less. that was the first time we had ever done a top install.

the frame i picked up for 200, the top was 750 with my discount. hardtop guy sells oem tops around there. i think for a 02+ top is about 800 shipped. my friend ended up giving me a pair of ellastic straps but i think modifry sells them for about 10 bucks.

so about 950 total for me. doing the install with a few friends definitely saved me a good 400-600 in labor.
