Replace cabriolet top and install... $8k from the dealer?
#16
My 2001 c4 cab plastic was starting to separate so I decided to update my top. I decided to go with the glass. The smaller glass window makes little to no difference. So I went with it. Ordered from eBay. Actually I called the company. They had their number posted. I called them in Cali. Auto top factory. They had all different colours. My original colour was grey. They offered me 2013 grey. I opted for the original. Liza was awesome. Great communication with them. It was 579$ plus shipping to Canada for the glass. Had it installed locally in Toronto. Took the guy 4 hours maybe. Paid 500 for labour.
Went back later for my bothers wife's miata. Paid 200 labour to install that top. Now he knows me.
All in all I'm very happy with my top.

911 Ragtop
Just wondering if Adamclutz got his Top replaced and for how much. I was just quoted 2150 for replacing the top. What should I be looking for to ensure that the upholsterer is buying the best quality top, and the material and back window quality and stiching looks like OEM? Any info on the best top supplier etc and what towards out for would be very helpful.

Hartz is a brand. They sell different types and qualities of tops. The material that Porsche uses is German A5 canvas which is also sold by GAHH.

911 Ragtop
i stand corrected and should have said that Haartz cuts ragtops from German A5 canvas - it fit my 997 C4S perfectly. Porsche utilizes A5 Canvas.

Edit: I just noticed you said "2014 911". You need to ask in the 991 forum, but I'm guessing the answers would be about the same.

Convertible Top Shop near Westchester
Great shop in Bell's Auto Interior, 15 Edgewood Ave
Greenwich, CT, (203) 869-5930. Had him replace the left rear seat cushion on my '01 Carrera Cabriolet. Stitching was impecable. Saw him working on installing a replacement Boxster convertible top.
