To all convertible car drivers: present or past

I'm looking into buying a 09 mustang GT convertible. The roof has a 3 inch tear in it. How much to replace the entire roof professionally with labor. Thanks

Dealer is telling me 600$ and I DON'T BUY IT...

Doesnt sound like a bad price- I just googled it and came up with this. I know the labor's pretty extensive, they're a decent amount of work to replace.

And that was with a friend doing the job for me.

NICE!! Good luck with the car man. Not shame on you, good for you- all the rip off artists in the car sales world you did the right thing. Always investigate to find out for yourself---cautious is the way to win the war.

Try going on Ebay and searching for Modded Mustangs, That is American Muscles Ebay store. They sell photo shoot and returns on there. I got my buddies roof for 80 bucks on there. Same exact one pictured in the link above.

i'm figuring 300-400$ in labor...so its 1000$ total That works with their asking price...thanks again

Try to take it to a place that do auto upholstery .. But to be honest $600 for the entire roof isn't a bad deal.

 

[jaa1456]

It's actually MustangMods, Looks like they don't have anything listed right now.

 

[44santababy]

i contacted a FORD dealer earlier today and they told me they don't perform this service, that they SEND it out to an Auto upholstery business for the actual repair...
