Just got a quote from this place called the Top Shop hear in Phoenix. For a new vinyl window they want $450. They would completely remove my top to put in a new window and reinstall it. For a new glass window top with german material they want $1,350. This seems a bit much since they are doing the same work in removing and installing the top plus a little more time to work the new top into place. I can get the top for about $650 so they are basically charging $700 for a day of labor.

Since I have a hardtop I am leaning towards the vinyl top. When it's hot as hell the hartop is on and when it nice (now until late May next year) the top is always down. Not having to do the Boxster chop would be nice just not sure $900 nice.
