98 Vert Top
Does anybody know of a source for convertable top that won't break the bank and have everything needed and a reasonable quality level. The original GM ones for $1,395 (on sale yet) are a little steep for me right now.
Thanks in advance.

I would love to see this answer also. My top is in good shape but as much as I use it I can see it needing to be replaced in a couple years.

Are you going to put it on yourself?
I can do many things, but this is one where I think I will let a pro try it!
I was quoted just under 1K last time I looked around(for a Robbins top installed), I thought that was fair.

Anyone know how the quality, durability, etc. of the Robbins tops compared to the OEM tops?
As to installation, definitely hire a pro. Either a dealer/service shop (who will probably outsource it) or a local auto upholsterer.
