Default Soft Top Installers

Hey guys,

Who would you recommend for a soft top install? Mine is tearing and frankly is brittle and wearing out. I've patched, stitched etc but eventually its just going to need a replacement.

I'm down in Medford but anywhere in Portland or Seattle is fine. I've seen a few installers in San Francisco, I could do that as well.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Ken,

I can't "recommend" any shops because I haven't gotten my soft top replaced. But I did ask around and most of the places use Robbin's and they cost $900. Installation is quoted with 9.5 hours of labor and it ranged from $450~$600 extra.

Let us know what you find!

Thanks for the #'s. I'm going to give a couple places in Portland a call tomorrow.

Ken, have you looked into this further? I found out that you can buy Robbin's top for less than $600 from topsonline.com

I plan on getting one from here and pay someone to do installation. Let us know if you have any updates.

Most of the people that take their cars to the dealer use Tonkin's service. I know they did a top 2 weeks ago for a fellow s2000 owner.

Ken,

Make sure you call them when you order. s2ki members get free shipping.

I am also having Scotties Auto Upholstery install the top for $475.

So the total for me is around a grand.

Can't wait to have the top installed!

I chose Scotties because my work is literally 5 minute walk from here, and they can get it done within a day -- not to mention they had the cheapest labor.
