Conv. top replacement in MD/Baltimore area?

[gbouton]

Any recommendations on where to get a new convertible top installed in the Baltimore/MD area? I've looked at the DIY and decided it'll be money well spent letting someone who knows what they're doing handle it but would like some first-hand recommendations from others who have had that work done in the Baltimore area.

Thanks!

If you find a complete top it is a breeze to install. Takes ten minutes, then you might just need to make some slight adjustments.

^ this. buy a good used complete top.

i think shane snyder is parting out a vert with a new top.

Call ubenasty. He's done a few. I think he only charged Joe 300 for 8hrs of install.

It is a two day process. pita from what I saw.

Yes. It depends if you are are using the frame and have a complete new top or are buying one already on the frame and such.

I am very interested also. '93 power top (if that matters).

Got a quote last year from a shop for $1,600. I thought the guy was joking but he wasn't.

My top hardly ever goes up but when it does, it's embarassing. I'm ready for a new one.

If someone has had this done in our area and it was a good experience, please let us know.

Thanks,
Doug

Thanks for the suggestions and generous offers to help. I hadn't thought about swapping out the whole frame, so I'm going to keep an eye out for one of those with newer fabric (already pm'd Shane).
