On one visit, i had to take home an overnight loaner. Seems like it must be quite a tricky job if even they struggled with it! One thing to note, they told me not to open the replacement top for 30 days, because it needs time to stretch and break in just like a pair of new shoes.

Let me guess, they warranty their work for 30 days, lol.
I think the dealer made out like bandits if they convinced the insurer to pay over $5k. You can buy a new top with glass for just over $500. Someone is scamming insurer. I've heard that a car upholstery shop will charge approx $500 labor to install.
