In my journey to tastefully modify my '96 to make it my own, I have been mulling over the thought of having a new top put on.

Wanting advice and shared experiences on what it cost others to have it done, and if it was a DIY project for anyone here?

if you like blue look on the Cars for sale section. a guy in new York is parting out his 96 and the top was recently completely redone. Might save you a few bucks.

 

Thats me... I still have the car and the top is perfect. It has to go for scrap soon so if you want it...now is the time.

 

icsamerica, Did you get my note about the body side moldings?

 

I went to Paul's Jaguar in Florida for my 91 top replacement. I was not about to learn & since I never needed to replace a conv top and don't want to learn at this point . Not a cheap job but I guess there's a lot to replace considering headliner, top & bracing plus 10 hrs labor. Figure about $2k. The guy that did the work did a fantastic job, worth every penny, at least to me.
