    Can anyone direct me to a good convertible top installer in MN? I want it done right, but I do not want to be taken for a ride either. I would like to avoid any problems.
    Also what kind of money should I expect to spend?

    Thanks Ken. I will give him a try. What do you think is a fair price?

    Would $1700 be out of line for a top installed?

    It is here in Tennessee. I paid $375 for my top installed. I paid for the top of course. The guy who installed had 30 years experience and started his own business in his garage. He had about 12 hours of work for this install in late 2007.

    Is Tony Brisbin still on the city counsel?
    My old stomping grounds. I used to work for the lumberyard back in 84.

    I had bought a top from Electron. Anyways on there website they have a search engine for their approved installers. Thats how I found my guy here locally. Good Luck, the month of May will come soon enough up there.
