I found someone that does upholstery work out of their home (had to
close his shop because of the overhead) and got it replaced for
$750.00 cash. All of the other quotes were from $925.00 to $1,300.

I only asked one shop so far for a pirce and it was 650 for the rear
window/curtain, and 1710 for the whole thing. * a 2000 Toyota Solara.
Maybe Baltimore is in the high rent district.

Where do you liive that even your high prices are so much cheaper?

I'm in Orlando.

Good to know.

I called a LOT of places before I found the guy that I
used. The top on your car is a lot bigger, so that might be one reason
for the higher price (plus you've only called one place). Also, a
cloth top is more expensive than a vinyl one. I went with vinyl.

I always had vinyl before, but I have no imagination so since this car
came with canvas, that's probably what I'll get, eventually.

I'll call more when the t ime comes. Since she was on the phone
already, I just wanted to be reassured t hat 100 dollars for tape is
still a good deal. (and tonight I found only 36 yards instead of 72.

I figure if a rear window starts to fail at 11 years, than 36 yards at
one yard per car will last me 393 years.

While I was researching a possible fix for my top I didn't see any
mention of the 3M tape being UV resistant. Since I live in FL that is
another reason that I didn't buy it.

I've been to Florida. You have a lot more sun than we do.
