hi earlybird, its been awhile but i seem to remember the cost was around $1500. i live 50 miles from tampa so i drove down to let them see the original top and they were familiar with the problem which affects other cars as well as crossfire. i went thru the shop and saw the high end cars (mb, ferrari,porsche) they were working on and i was impressed also with the choices and the price as well as the solution to the window problem. also, since my car is an'05 when the top recall was issued by chrysler and i called and chrysler refunded the price of the new top when i submitted the bill. i was the happiest of campers. my advice, find a local upholstery-top shop, do your homework and fix the problem and pick your top color and material.
