Cost me about 1300 to have mine done at Paymar and Phillips in Laurel. GL with your replacement top.

Ask them how long you have to leave the top up before dropping it the first time. My fabric had to stretch. (maybe )

How long did you need to leave the top up for it to stretch? I was told a week or so.

I used Lim's once to have 2 holes fixed in my top. Did a real good job and when I need a new top I will probably head over there myself.

Park in the sun for several days. It also helps if you occasionally hit the 'up' button to loosen any tension on the strikers. Every time I put the top up, I latch it then hit the button one last time... 7+ years and not a single wiggle on the strikers.

Top turned out great, better than I ever thought. Lim's did an awesome job and the dark blue Robbins top looks great with Suzuka. I wasn't sure about the blue top but I couldn't be happier. Lim's charged me $650 but I think they cut me a bit of a break. I think the shop usually charges $696. I'll post a picture when I get a chance.

I've heard good things about them. That's who Peter had recommended to me when I needed to have my top replaced in the past. I ended up getting a new top from HTG and having Jeff and Skip install it instead, but the guy I talked to from Lim's seemed like a nice guy.
