I just installed a new top with the plastic window, in hindsight I probably should have went for the glass window top. The install is time consuming and I ended up with a few wrinkles but it still turn out very nice and I think I can get rid of the wrinkles. I had a local shop quote me $1,800. for a Gahh glass window top, that's the brand he preferred. I had another shop quote me $750.00 just for the labor installing my top, so I saved myself that cost. I bought a German cloth Sierra top from Auto Tops Direct for around $389.00. Make sure to ask the shop you're calling for an estimate if they'll install a top that you purchase, some may not.
