cabrio top replacement

[Mysticguy]

Has anyone replaced their top recently?
Trying to figure what it will cost me. I know that the top will run between 550-750 depending on canvas quality. I also suppose I should replace the straps and seals etc.I am looking to get a installation estimate. I heard it takes around 5 hours. I am not going to try and do it myself it looks to involved. Does anyone know what an upolstery shop may charge?
Any thoughts?

I did...1250 no seals w/ new straps installed. Um..I believe that the top cost around 700. labor was around 400 (maybe) and straps 150 or something like that. And trust me, you will be happy after you do it, much quiter, much nicer inside, can actually here the radio. If you do a quality job, no leakage and stays cool and hot inside (a/c and heat). The one thing that I don't like is that the top doesn't sit on the car completely on the side in the back but the BMW guy that works on my car says that is what all of them are like.
