Ez top. The pre-made holes don't even line up correctly. You have to drill holes on your frame. Poke holes on the end of the tubes to get the rivets out. Put the straps on and rivet them down. I could could rant about this even more but I don't want to.

Robbins top is just an upgraded version of the ez top. Just a slight better alignment of the holes. Same hassle.

Whoever made these tops for our cars, probably doesn't own one.

I've got it down to 5 hours(aftermarket). Oem, probably in 3 hours since there's no modding. I don't know if I'd be up for soft top replacements just yet. I'm trying to enjoy my days off. I get worn out working on cars all day, then coming home and working on my own.

My asking price for soft top replacements is $500. I was told by a couple of guys that some shops won't even attempt to replace our tops. Honda just rapes the price. I'm thinking if there are a lot of you that needs your tops replaced. I can take vacation for a week and each day I'll replace a top. Just a thought and if there's enough people to fill in the slots.

That's 500 PLUS the top right?

You'd have to buy the top on your own. Whatever brand you buy. I'm just charging for my price labor. I'd be using my own tools to do the job. I do drive out to whatever location.
