Default New top

I have a 96 convertible that needs a new top what is an average price to get it installed? I took it to a local shop yesterday and was quoted $1900, the headliner is still good, the quote was to replace the canvas top and glass window with defroster, replace weatherstripping and cables, I looked online and can buy a top for around $500, $1900 seems excessive, HELP..

This Help section is for Help with the CorvetteForum website (account issues, etc.,) and is not the place to post technical questions about Corvettes or other questions not related to the website. Instead, please find the correct section, based on the generation of the Corvette.

Go back to the main forum page:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/

Now start to slowly scroll down until you see the generation of your Corvette. C4 Corvettes, 1984 - 1996:
