Convertible top install

[common 27]

 I was wondering if any one here has ever installed a top?The local shop wants around 500 labor to do it.Seems high to me but a wrinkled top doesn't interest me either.

I can't remember, my ears are in the way!

Ask Yogi. He'll know!

I think this is a difficult task. I can recall 4C having it done by someone, and Chryco agreeing that it was a pain. That is proof enough for me.

I think I even paid more than that if I remember right.  Do not tackle it yourself unless you have nerves of steel and a lot of patience.  $500 would be a great investement for a good install, and no headaches.

Make sure that the metal is all redone and painted while you are doing it...lucky for me...that was included.

4c wanted me to do his .......... I declined

I did one on a 69 Firebird years ago and i will tell you it's not to bad to get the top on, but to get it on with no wrinkles  . It took me forever and i never did them ALL OUT . I would pay the 500 and let somebody else worry about it
