In a previous post I mentioned that I have a small tear in the rear window of my 98 (plastic). I've called a couple of local guys and am told that the entire roof needs to be replaced, to the tune of like $2000!!!! :eek:

I recall someone mentioning that the rear plastic could be replaced for somewhere in the area of $400-$800

the rest of the top in in good shape! Am I being taken advantage of locally, or what!

Probably the easiest way is to politly ask your dealer who they farm this work out to. Lot's of people (on PPBB) have claimed to have new rear windows sewn in for $400 - $600.

Depending on who does it, it's a 4 to 8 hour job to R&R the top, plus the time to sew a window in. Aftermarket tops are in the $500 - $700 range, plus labor (I think a dealer top is 2K+, plus $100+ hour labor), so keep calling till you find someone who can do the job for a reasonable amout, they are out there, you mostly need to keep calling.
