best place to get 96 cabrio top?

Dukecola 11 February 2005 19:14:17
 Hello, All!

Can someone give me some locations to get a replacement conv top for a 96
Cabrio? I see JC Whitney has it for $219, any place cheaper?
Also, has anyone done the replacement themselves? Is it difficult?

Thanks,
Duke

With best regards, dukecola. E-mail: dukecola@adelphia.n­et

 Sounds cheap considering a new top for my 89 Cabriolet cheapest found for
parts only $450 ( all 3 peices ) on ebay. About $1200 installed is what ive
been quoted. If someone knows cheaper in the Seattle area let me know too.

 Does that include the headliner and the middle (felt) pieces, tension
cables, etc.? Or is it only for the exterior fabric? There are numerous
grades of fabric available for exterior fabric, some good and some not so
good.

IMO installing it yourself, unless you have done it before, is risky in that
if you don't do it exactly right you will probably be buying a second new
top. I think this is a job for the experts, and if you hire a firm to do it,
make sure the work is guaranteed.

 Careful! Cheap tops are just that; cheap quality. Spend the bucks on
quality (maybe even cloth - I prefer it) if you intend to keep the car. I
would stay away from JC Whitney & anywhere else that you can't determine
place of manufacture (BTW $219 is high for a cheap top like JCW has).
Also, check several do-it-yourself articles for your specific body style
car. Try to determine "fer shur" if you want to tackle this project. We
have one at http://autos.groups­.yahoo.com/group/cab­rioletandcabrio in the
database: you may have to join to see it.
