After I had my car painted and was ready for my vinyl top,, I debated long and hard on whether I was going to do it myself or have it done by some one who knew what they were doing. It was pretty expensive to have it done, as I had all ready had the top also. I decided to bite the bullet and took it to a shop and had it done. That sure was the right decision ---came out looking great. He used a steamer, sealed all the edges, ect. I paid just under $300.00 for the labor, about 2 years ago.
