Newbie here,

Just got a '95 blue convertible and the glass has separated along the top from the cloth. The top also has a couple of small holes (no leaks) and the stitching is coming undone around the edges. I'd like to try to replace the top myself. Any advice on where to get the top, instructions, or tips for the job?

Thanks!

Hi Wendy!
Glad you joined - this forum is great for advice. I replaced mine with a Robbins top about 6 months ago - it's a great top but didn't come with any instructions really - we had to muddle our way through it.

Has anyone else installed any other brand of top themselves, and did it come with any instruction or is there a good how-to anywhere?

I have a rare supplemental manual that covers the top.

Best advice i can give you. Dont do it yourself.

OH!

I was thinkin about replacing my top too! Because my top sounds exactly like yours... plus mine broke, but thats the motors fault...

How much does a new one usually cost? and another more important note... how much does it usually cost to install?

mine new one was 400 dollars, and 200 to install.

Where did you buy yours from? I've seen several kits on ebay for around $420, and a google search pulled up some companies that sell either a package kit or the parts separately, but they cost a bit more. I haven't priced installation.

ebay. Its alot of work, i watched the guy put my on. Sewing, gluing, etc.

The Robbins top I put on didn't require any sewing. Some gluing here and there, but no sewing... Guess it depends on the brand of top.
