How much does a new convertible top plus installation cost? Just an average would be great.

Thanks a lot!

I paid $800 total, that included the top and installation. It was installed by the dealer when I first bought the car so I don't know what the break down of the cost was between the top and the labor.

had mine installed at a body shop while the car was being painted also, paid everything together, didnt want to know how much they charged for that i guess. had money back then so i didnt really care either.

Thanks, that's kind of what I figured...maybe a body shop would do it cheaper than a dealer. It's been 10 years and 41k miles...it's about time to replace it I guess.

Mine cost about $450 for the top and back glass shiped from ebay and then I found a place in Austin TX that installed it for $250. Total cost $700. I think this is a little below average because $250 to install it was the lowest out of about 8 shops I checked with. Some wanted over a grand just for labor. I think the average price would be around $1000 for parts and labor.

Just noticed you're in Dallas. I can get you the shop in austin's name if you want. They did amazing work and they were super cheap. It would be worth the drive.

Wow...seems like a lot but the place in Austin sounds like a good deal. How long does it take to install? I can't just drive down there and wait 2 days for install. I'd rather spend more $$ and save myself the time.

If you need a top, check this one out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-02...mZ380119292660

That's where I bought mine.

I paid 1290 for top and installation. this is with the stayfast canvas and heated back glass.

for the most part, the top looks ok but the glass is seperating from the canvas...it has stains that I cannot get rid of though so I figure it's time for a new one.

When my window started separating from the top it fell out shortly thereafter, so I would guess your top is very short on it's remaining life based on what mine did.

I paid $1,300 for a black stayfast top with glass window installed. $700 is a smoking deal, I had a number of quotes but none less than the 1,300 I paid. When I do the top on my olds I am going to try to do it myself and see how that goes.
