Time for a new Soft Top!

Does anyone have any recommendations about a particular brand or someone who is selling a soft top? Mine is now about 12 years old and it's now needing to be replaced.

The Company that made the top for mine is in Oxnard, CA. It's a nice top.

Thanks, do you remember the company name or how much it was?

I got mine from ERA. Funny thing is that I worked only a couple miles from Robbins so it had about 6000 miles on it by the time I got it.

Had I known they were there I would have saved ERA the Hassle of sending it to me. The robbins site has a list of distributors. I'm sure one of them will be close to you.

But Robbins cannot supply the bows, header and latches, which is actually where about half the cost lies.

I too am considering a soft top (with all the hardware). With professional installation (highly recommended) I estimate the cost at about $2,000. Side windows, top, hardware, installation, shipping costs, etc. Would you concur with that number Bob (strictlypersonal)?

According to our estimate sheet, the total is about $1750 installed (which includes a storage bag). A roll bar might add to that.

I will have to get it installed locally. I plan to order it AFTER my move and am settled on the mainland. Mostly because I don't really need it here and to save on shipping costs. Estimated price for an owner installed option with all the parts would be less than 1750 I'm guessing. Yup, I have a roll bar!
