depends on what you want to do - You can get a good pinpoint vinyl top without a window for $145 plus shipping several places - Key Auto top brand usually - which was fine on my 1988 years ago - I did not replace the rear window and it lasted fine. CJ Pony Parts in Harrisburg PA has always done good by me - great prices, great service, great people. If you need the back window curtain I suggest getting a glass one for a bit more money. You would also want to get the pads, cables, and so forth if yours are getting worn. I just had one installed on my 1993 in the most expensive way - canvas with a glass window with canvas rear curtain. Most local upholstery shops will charge $500 or so to install a top with the pads and cables, etc... and they will charge about $1000- $1300 for an EZ-ON name brand canvas top. You can buy canvas kits many places for cheaper. I happen to have a new 1991-93 EZ-ON CANVAS top in my garage with new cables, pads, etc... but no rear window that I am not using - I cannot bring myself to install it. Good luck!

well i dont think i need the window the one that is in the car is in good shape. everything seems to be in good condiction except the top has a few small holes in it. basicaly i just need the top and i was just wonder where i could get the vinyl top. and if that was wall that i needed.

so if i just buy the vinyl top i could just put in my old glass from my old top? i can install the top andeverything myself.

I know some people have installed their own tops but it seems to be a job best left for a professional.

I am getting my new top, back glass, pads, cables, weatherstripping and a headliner kit installed right now. I am being charged 450.00 labor.

I believe the top, back glass (tinted plastic), pads and cables cost me about 300.00 or so.

The headliner was another 100.00.
