Can you replace a convertible top yourself?
I found a cheap new convertible top for 400 on ebay with plenty of great reviews. How hard is it to install, anyone ever do this?
2001 C4...also any recommendations on an installer in Westchester NY?

I replaced my convertible top on my boxster, both are pretty similar. I will tell you to do a search in the DIY section, I believe there is a step by step guide of how to do it with pictures.
It is a TWO PERSON job minimum. You need two people period and a full day to work on it, also there is a special can of automotive vinyl cement specifically for convertible tops that you will need to find and buy (I went to my local interior/convt top shop and they pointed me to their supplier.)
Good luck
