$600 seems about right for a shop to replace your top. Not sure what $145 get you.. do you mean JUST the material & no hardware or glass or anything? Who's gonna put it on.. It's a tough job to do correctly
That one does not have the bows or the cables, and I didnt see any parts for pads either. Just be careful, you get what you pay for. I am sure your dads friend is looking at an origianl replacement with a new glass rear window.

FWIW $600 complete sounds like a good deal to me.
600.00 is a great price the best i can find in oregon is 89.00 an hour and they say 9 hours to install and 400. for the top. please post for dads friends name and number
That is a great price I was just quoted $1400 today for replacing the top,pads, and cables.

That's steep!
Ask the local dealers who they farm it out to and call them.
The most expensive places are going to be the "resto" places that deal in collector cars and so forth.
Upholstery shops can be good if they do this kind of work on a regular basis.
how Much??????$$$$$
