Convertible Top

Who has the best price on a new top? Best I've found so far is $960.00.  :nuts:

Is that a price for the insulated top including the frame?

Good question. I think, but will have to check, it's for the top only. Seems to me the top was selling for ~$650.00 a couple of years ago. If so, buying some back then would have been a good investment!

Apparently it is the canvas top only without the headliner panels. I thought from 2007 on the headliner was built into the top. Or did the option for the headliner just go away...?

I did find one for $845.00 but still not cheap!

I am pretty sure the headliner is separate from the top.  In 07 the headliner was optional, don't know about the years after that though.

I believe that from 2008 and on the insulated headliner was standard.

Sol Asylum you are indeed correct...the Premium Acoustic Headliner is listed as a $150.00 option on our early build 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP (VIN 1G2MG35X97Y120075), and back then our total options were $3,185.00 and MSRP standard vehicle price was $26,515.00... out the door with destination charge of $600.00...$30,300.00!  Now as I recall the deal was a bit less than that, check my avatar... :usa:

Would you consider a used top from Ebay?  I've seen nice ones go for aobut 30-40% off the retail prices.

7-900 is what I've paid twice for tops with or without the headliner (last one was from Phoenix Racing). I've heard others mention that they've found tops for ~500 and that is an amazing price considering retail is 2k for an 06.  Just gotta get lucky, I guess.
