The cheapest shop I found was $750 installation for a new top and $550 just to sew in a new window.
$600 was actually a deal here too. Especially since my plastic window split the first week of June and most of the installers in this area already had their calendars into July.

I literally couldn't find a single person willing to replace the plastic. Then I read about the problems with replaced windows and figured that was for the best. Prices that I was quoted ranged all the way up to $950 for the install.

On top of that, only a couple of shops were willing to let me order my own top... because they also charged $1000-1500 for the new top. That's right, one quote for a top with a glass window was $2200 ($700 labor + $1,500 for the top)
