Convertible top Replacement
 
4 Attachment(s)
So 25 years is all I could get from the original vinyl top, just can't get good quality anymore.

I decided to upgrade to a canvas top. Hopefully this one will last a little longer:)

Local (Charlotte) quotes ran $1,500 - $1,700, so I decided to try replacing it myself.

I ordered the top from Convertible Top Guys (Convertible Tops and Convertible Top Parts) and it looks really nice in the box. I spend about 5 hours today removing the old top and it was pretty straight forward. Tomorrow I plan on installing the new top. I'll let everyone know how long it takes so you can decide to do it yourself or farm it out.

Below are some pictures with the top removed.

Whatever happened with this?

well, since he's not been on here since a month after posting that, i'd say probably gave up and sold the car.

That's a shame and I know that feeling. I replaced the top on my s2000 and it nearly killed me. One of those jobs where it's best to leave it to a pro.
