Default Robbins Auto Top

Can Someone tell me where can I get lowest price on a replacement Softtop from Robbins Auto Top.

I find a local guy will do it for $1350.00 installed/rear glass. (Plus he will warranty his work/the top)

I hear that it's pretty easy to do yourself. But very time consuming.

I just did this myself, it took me about 12 hours to do. It was pretty much a one man job taking it off because of the tight spaces, but it helps a lot if you have a second person to put the new top on. It wasn't hard at all just very time consuming like Metatron said.

How much is the top alone, w/o installation?

Took me about 12 hours as well. I had a second pair of hands to put the top on.

Visit www.topsonline.com and call Vic. I purchased a canvas top for my car for $715. The vinyl can be had for much less... Around $500 shipped. If you perform the labor youself, it will take you much longer than a shop that has experience with our cars. There is a shop here in San Diego that whips them out in just over five hours somehow and charges $350!
