Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone know about how much it should cost to replace a convertible top? Just the top, not the mechanics etc...

POST 2Original post

3k ish using non Porsche canvas. 6k ish using Porsche canvas from a dealership. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...-01-996-a.html

POST 3Original post

I had mine (MY2000) replaced last year for about $1800 all in. That was for the GAHH (same material as original) with a double-stitched plastic window. Btw - if your window is still intact and you are just unhappy with the look of the top you can clean it and condition it with Raggtop products.

POST 4Original post

Mine was also around $1600. I would look at all authorized gahh installers in your area and call for quotes. Check with your local pca chapter, they may recommend someone.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, any specific brands? I tend to use Macguires products

POST 6Original post

Mine cost $2000 (parts and labor), but I didn't have the dealership do it and the top is an aftermarket and looks and fits better than the OEM versions. Where are you located Rock? Is your top damaged (i.e. ripped) or just wrinkled with sun fade?

POST 7Original post

I use Maquires too, but for the canvas top - Raggtopp sealant!
