Default Got a new top!

Hey guys!

I just ordered my new convertible top and backwindow (long story, storm, blown windows, etc...)

I was wondering how much it would cost to have someone slap it on?

I didnt know if anyone had done one before?

Thanks!

I dont see why not, as long as you remember how it came apart, and off the car, just do the oposite to put it back on

I am doing a swap pretty soon too. The guy I'm going with offered a flat rate 750 but does custom pads. I am also getting the top from him too though. But they all seemed to be around there when I was searching. Total price I'm looking at is 1400.
