Hi

I am looking for recommendations if shops to do a 996 Cab top replacement.

Located in Southern Maryland (Leonardtown) but will drive for the right shop.

Hey I'm looking for the same thing. Couple of quotes Ive gotten range from 2-2500.00
THat just seems way to high to me. Anyway, a long drive would be worth it, so I'm looking 2-300 miles radius of Wash DC.
Pls let me know if you come up with anything. I;ll do the same.

Hi, that’s exactly what I found from reputable shops. I have scheduled a full replacement for 2800. One thing to consider is materials for the GAHH top with glass is already 1700…
thanks!

I believe there are lower tier options available (still made my Haartz) for much less - like in the 7-$800 range. I recall posts where owners have had their tops replaced for roughly $1500, which is something I could justify to my badly neglected FJ Cruiser. Problem is, those posts are years old, and in many cases - the other side of the country. Yet an other reason that I am living on the wrong coast. I fear a very real possibility that my soft top will seeing a redneck makeover (duct tape on the rear window) before too long.

Really wishing I still had access to that hard top about now. (I don't see an icon to place for kicking my own ***)
