94 vert needs new top

I need a new top and weather stripping I don't think I want to try this myself.What do you guy's think? Is there any place that sells a kit with everything you need together? The tops I see are about 500 bucks but They don't come with the headliner I think if I am going to replace the top everything should be new.Anyone out there have there tops done if so how much should I expect to pay for everything?Please help me out

Just get recommendations for good upholstery places in your town and then get some estimates.

I just had mine done last week. 1990 Vert.

EZ-On Top - Cloth with a plastic Window $385
Installation $270
7 piece Weathersrtipping (Not A-Pillar) from GM dealer $500

I had to go with the platic window because the 1990's are not set-up for the glass window without an extra kit.

My headliner was still in real good condition. Usually these don't wear out at near the same rate as the top. If your's is in good condition, don't waste the extra money - In My Opinion.

I replaced the top and weather stripping on my '86 last spring. Cost about $550 installed.

As best as I can remember, last time I had my top done, canvas sailcloth with glass window & defogger, installed for just shy of a grand. Did NOT include any weatherstripping, of course, and no headliner, though I'm due one soon.
