Top replacement

marksrice · 10-29-2007, 05:30 PM

My car is a 2000 and the top is getting ratty. Has anyone here replaced his own top? The Honda dealers here both want in excess of $2200.00 to replace it and I think that's outrageous. How tough is it?

That or "Google baby, Google" are my answers to most of life's questions.

Not my question, I found a top. I want to know how difficult it will be to install.......

Dr. Jimbo · 10-29-2007, 07:28 PM

Try checking s2kca.com (sorry, my comrades). There is probably a few threads on the subject. But come back here and be part of our family, if you like.

$2,200 just to put it on without the cost of the top itself? Wow, thats bad. Try to find a custom interior guy or a body shop, they will probably be cheaper and may even do a better job.

Ghostface · 11-07-2007, 11:05 PM

lol wow that is overpriced... its like 800 dollars(ebay, google) for the soft top and probably a few hundred to get it installed

ghostface is right. many auto upholstery places would do the service for lot cheaper than $2,200. I got a quote for a soft top with glass for around $1,300.
