Vinyl Top

Need help. Anybody have any suggestions on how to go about replacing the vinyl top for a 4dr 86 Caprice Classic? Someone suggested I try Maaco. Can anyone tell me what ballpark I would be in or should be in price wise to get it done? If anyone has any opinions or comments I'd appreciate it.

Definitely let a body shop do it. Doesn't have to be Maaco, but who knows what's under the top you currently have (like rust holes).

I've never been a fan of vinyl tops, and if I bought a car with one, I'd have the body shop take it off (but that's just me)

Thanks Tommy. Im not the biggest fan of them either and I also wonder whats underneath the current top. Its just at the current moment, a new top is a little more feasible financially than having it taken off and then repainting the whole car. But I'll look into a few body shops in my area.

You have an excellent point. Since it has to come up anyway, they'll be looking for rust holes and can patch 'em before installing the new one.

I currently am doing the same shopping around for mine. I just found some names of local body shops that do them, when I get some prices I can post them so you have a comparison. I'm in SW Florida, not sure where you are located, but it may help you out.

That would be cool man. Im located in Delaware, about 30 minutes outside Philadelphia. I just came from a body shop today, they quoted $770. The vinyl top would be $300, the rest labor, we're talking 8 hours of labor. So I'm gonna keep shopping around. Keep me posted and I'll keep you posted.
