Default C5 Convertible Top Replacement?

What are the best options for replacing a 2001 C5 convertible top? Are original tops still available, is there something better? What should I expect to pay for a new top installed?

Thank you!

Be careful in getting a top. We have heard of some suppliers that DO NOT provide an exact OEM identical replacement. One guy here was told they were but it was not and got hit with a BIG restock fee. I have no idea of where to go but make sure you go with a KNOWN and experienced Forum vendor if possible. Maybe some one here will chime in with at least one or two good sources.

Robbins Convertible tops are absolutely the best quality tops on the market used by most top end car manufacturers and I have heard that they were the original top maker for C5 Corvettes. Not cheap , but if you want quality this is your top .

Plus they offer custom colors if you want to go with something different.
