Default Convertible top installation

Hello, anyone know of a reputable company or person who will install my top for a reasonable price. My car is currently in West Palm Beach, Florida but I live in Atlanta, GA. I will travel as far as Miami and Orlando Florida... also within the Atlanta, GA metro area

Not sure if he will travel that far but will probably be attending the Crossfires in the Ozarks" event in Eureka Springs, Arkansas - June 9 - 13 and could install your top there . I ordered my top from BAS for around $800 with shipping. Robert McCubbin on Facebook installed the top for around $250. You will have to look him up on Facebook , the forum will not allow me to post a link for Facebook
Bas tops https://www.car-hood.co.uk/

You can contact me if you have questions you might get the top if you order now before the event above

Just ordered my new top from BAS, $851 delivered to Missouri. The local shop in St Louis wants $2,035.00 for a new installed top, seemed a bit expensive. Now I'll have to drive to Kansas for a member to install for me...hopefully...I haven't asked yet

That local shop is charging outrageous pricing to install a top. I wouldn't haggle an installation price with the guy in Kansas. When you contact him, set up a reasonable installation price/time at his convenience.
Good luck....

I'm going to assume that you are talking about me, since I live in Olathe KS and have installed tops for quite a few Crossfire owners over the last seven years.
Did you tell Becky, at BAS, that you were a member with the USA Crossfires and ask for the Trade Pricing discount? If you didn't, I would contact her and ask for the discount. I believe she will refund you the difference in the pricing.
I would be happy to help you get your new top installed. You can Facebook PM me or text/call me at 913-484-9556.

I did and that was the price. And yes I was being presumptive on assuming you would help me. Thank you for your kind offer. I’m in St Louis and would take a fall cruise across Missouri. Via US 50

It was $740 delivered in 2019 with our discount, I kinda thought the price he quoted had to be the discounted price. I see I was right.

I agree with @DTMenace , $2035 is obscene. They are marking the top up about 20-30% (which is fine) and charging $1000 labor (which is not fine, you will see that when Bob replaces yours.)
