I wasn't trying to ridicule "Lone Wolf Gal" for making it a DIY project at all. I was simply curious what her local shops quoted her for the work.

I applaud "Lone Wolf Gal" for her DIY work and often can be just as good or better than a pro shop.....

A few years ago I replaced the original cloth top w/plastic window with a new top w/glass window. I read all of the threads of DIY'ers changing out their tops and also got quotes from experienced professional shops. Of course a DIY project would have saved me money but I considered the DIY savings vs paying someone else and (IN MY CASE) I decided that the additional cost was worth it. Obviously, everyone makes their own decisions. In my case I wasn't keen on a DIY project and just wanted the best quality done with the least downtime.
