Default Replace Convert top

Anyone one know where to get a good replacement vert top for a 2002?

Someone came by last night and sliced it open to try and get inside. Didn't get anything, nothing in it to take, but causing a pain in the butt for me.

Anyone ever install one of these?

Thanks

I'm considering a Robbin's top. They are reported to be very good quality. I wouldn't consider anything other than a professional install (akin to installing a headliner) The website states 9 hrs labor I don't know how it could take that long, but there must be more than meets the eye. I've been quoted one price so far $1500.00

I replaced my top with an OEM top. As far as the professional installation - I had a shop here in Phoenix do it. It took them about 8 hours of work. This is a shop that specializes in convertible tops and upholstery. They work on high end cars only (Rolls, M-B, etc.), and it took them that long.

Unless you have done this before - seek out a professional with experience if you want the job done right. My top is now tight as a drum and fits perfectly - actually better than a new car from Bowling Green.
