if you can, get the soft top back from the shop. you can recoup some of that $1000 you have to shell out. the latches sell for $100 for the pair, the rubber seals sell for $50 for all of them and then you can sell patches and make $100-$150 off those. ive done it with 3 or 4 tops in the past. all of those parts sell well on here. if you dont have the time or the room to do it, i'll help you. just shoot me a text when you have the soft top back.
Damn sure will do.

Thx besides does anyone know how much i will get from insurance

I got geico with 1k detuctable

a new top and to respray all of the panels....thats probably over $5k.

thinking about it, they will probably only pay a shop to put on a new softtop and not the whole thing. they will probably reuse the latches, but you should get new rubber seals and the shop will cut off the old fabric. ask them for it instead of them throwing it away.

Yep, to both above. Never sleep on anyone. Even someone you pissed off at the Walgreen's or cut off on the street. A-holes will follow you for the dumbest things.

Yep on both above again. Any store or building security feeds can help you. I even park in front of stores during late hours on purpose since many stores have cameras facing towards their front doors. Did this up in the Bronx all the time and never had a thing happen to my cars when I took such precautions. Always thinking like a thief helps keep the car safe.

Hope this all works out for you, Leo.
