If your looking for the lowest price, PTT is right, eBay. I purchased mine from hydro-e-lectric (Home - Hydro-E-Lectric) 4 years ago. Top, new cables, and rear glass window with defrost ran about $425. I installed it myself and it turned out well, but after about 40 hours of labor, I know why they charge $800 in labor on average to install them. Good luck!!!

Really? I had no Idea what that all cost... There was a Turbo Baron with a brand new top for sale around here asking $1300. By your math that would be like getting the car for free (like how my brain is trying to justify buying another car?).

Too bad it was this weird beige color with a brown top and rusty rocker panels

I've heard quotes between $900 and $1200. Obviously of you install them for a living it doesn't take 40 hours!! I always laugh when I see convertible for sale with rips in the top and the seller states that its an easy fix. For one, its not easy and for two, it can get pretty expensive!!
