Have any of you purchased a new rag top for your C3? What do you look for in terms of construction? Where did you purchase and at what cost? How much should it cost to install if done professionally?

Al Knock has the best reputation for making tops. I think most catalogs sell his brand. I think I paid about $160.00 from a now defunct business about 2 years ago. I paid $400.00 for the install from an excellent shop. I had received quotes up to $1000.00 which I would never pay. While your replacing the top, its a good time to replace the top weatherstrip if it is showing any age.

In my case, the frame for the top was bent and rusted, so I had to spend another $600.00 to repair and replace parts of the frame. Just be prepared for additional expenses that may arise when the old top comes off.
