eBay lol, but I did find one for around 410 on there that's black with the glass top. Tucson Top wanted 1600 to do it.

I'm thinking about getting my top done soon if my car doesn't sell soon. In the past I got quotes from a few places installed. All around 1100 to 1400 depending on the quality of the top. I found a couple past emails on it. I had at least one other local quote but I can't remember the place.

yes, these are from last year so take them with a grain of salt, not their "current" quote.

Hello
Not a problem we can we are closed on saturdays but if you drop off the car early Friday we can have it done early monday. If we have a pre-set appointment depending on schedules etc... parts and labor in vinyl 1250.00 plus tax. or in canvas or clothe 1350.00 Both would come with a three year warranty. We would use robbins for vinyl and GAHH for canvas. We also de-burr the scissor assembly and frame assembly, replace the elastic straps above your head between the bows when sitting in the car, and de-burr the hinges. We would need a 300.00 deposit to get started. Give me a call??? Thanks

Had to replace the top on mine years ago, ebay is where I got it but, I also checked reviews not only on the company but the brand of top they were selling. Install is REAL fun on that and keep in mind proper stretch/break in period after the installation takes a day or sun in the sun.

Top installed, put top up 25% leave for a couple hours, then another 25% up same thing, til it's fully closed. If you don't do this it can actually tear fairly quick, this go fors almost any soft top vehicle by the way.

I don't understand why they want$1250 for a aftermarket repair when a new oem top retails for$1210 . You can probably get your Honda dealer to match the internet price of $874 as,well.
