Default Top replacement

Can anyone recommend a shop or person that can replace the convertible top on my S in the Tampa/ Clearwater area ? and an estimated cost ? I see the tops online for about $500 to $600 without labor .

thanks Chris

Paul at LHT - OEM top with OEM fit not the ones that your top will never go all the way down again, without the OEM sticker SHOCK

some dont....they are not made "exactly" to spec...some are tighter than others....thats why it is best to go OEM if possible.....companies Like Robbins and others do well but depending on the cut and craft and even install, you may run into closing issues like that...

fair warning
