Newbie here,

Just got a '95 blue convertible and the glass has separated along the top from the cloth. The top also has a couple of small holes (no leaks) and the stitching is coming undone around the edges. I'd like to try to replace the top myself. Any advice on where to get the top, instructions, or tips for the job?

Thanks!

OH!

I was thinkin about replacing my top too! Because my top sounds exactly like yours... plus mine broke, but thats the motors fault...

How much does a new one usually cost? and another more important note... how much does it usually cost to install?

Where did you buy yours from? I've seen several kits on ebay for around $420, and a google search pulled up some companies that sell either a package kit or the parts separately, but they cost a bit more. I haven't priced installation.
