Default Any Good Soft Top Installers in the Pacific NW?

Anyone that can do it right, including new rubber.

Typical labor cost these days?

Also, which top and rubber supplier to use for a 65 non-show car?

Metal rails are in good shape but should be repainted.

Portland-Seattle area (closer to Portland) .... Thanks much

These guys do good work but they are in Seattle, I plan to use them for my '67 top. Corvette Rubber Company makes the best weatherstrip.

I would go with a Stayfast top from Al Knoch. I have installed quite a few of them. They look great and ware very well. Also, they are a little easier to install.

Thanks regarding the Stayfast top .... sounds good.

Now just need to find someone in the area that can do a good job on a mid-year install.
