well, im having no luck in finding a used 04-06 soft top so im left with going through insurance. whats a good place to get a soft top replaced? dealer?


thanks.

 

I had mine done at burien honda, but they subcontracted the job to an upholstery shop (as with most converts) in burien... I don't recall the name, but if HIMIKE2k3 runs across this thread he should be able to help out.

 

Yeah, there's some place over in Burien or Federal Way that seems to get a lot of subcontract business from body shops and dealers. I don't know if they do direct retail, though.

IIRC the name of the place is "Ken's" or some such thing. But there is probably more than one such place.

[The place I was thinking of seems to be "Kenny's Auto Upholstery" in Renton. No idea if they are particularly good or particularly well-priced.]

 

what are their prices?

 

i think labor was approx 10hrs at $80/hr

 

We do soft top installs www.zahntechauto.com

 

Convertibles Only in Seattle did my labor for $700 this past June. They did a perfect job and I felt good knowing my car was sitting next to a couple of Ferarris and a Porsche.

 

thanks everyone for there input. ill give convertibles a call today.

 

There's a professional shop in Mukilteo, WA (close to Lynnwood) that does alot of my work and people I've referred have been really happy, John's Auto Glass. They do bodywork/paint/upholstery as well as windshields and auto glass.

John is a good guy will work out a great price too. PM me for contact info.
