Mine's in the shop now getting a new top section- I had the rear done about a year ago and that was $400. I know the guy for 20 years and he does quality work. $700 including the pads-. However, I've been quoted as high as $1400. That quote price you got is not bad
Is this just for the top portion?
New Pads?
Tacking strips?
cables
pump, motor, lines, ok?
Frame not tweaked?
Rear top section? - Get glass not plastic.
Vinyl or canvas top?
Make of top? You want EZ on or Robbins
You can do it yourself but it's a PITA job IMO. If you do go that route, get the video that's sold online.
