Does this figure sound right? Looking at some other threads, GAHH does the install for like $600 (saw one thread where GAHH top installed for $1500).

Your thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

I am one who paid on the higher end; but I went to a GAHH - approved (read lifetime warranty) installer, and live in San Francisco, which is infinitely more expensive than Baltimore (I work on the east coast, and know that MD should be about 40% cheaper). I'd say call GAHH and find out who they rec.

$475 is an excellent installation price. Good for you!!!!!

My mechanic said it takes about 5.5 hours to do the work if all goes well and he hits no snags... and he's a hundred an hour, so this is a really good price for Houston anyway.

I can have a Top Shop that repairs and replaces Porsche tops. To remove and replace the rear plastic window is $450.00
