Prices you want? then i shall give you prices. well for a top on my 92 Cabriolet cost me $142.35 cause i got it thru my uncles body shop (normal price on the top is $242.35).
The place im getting it put on is a local upholstery shop they gave me a price of $300 + applicable taxes to put the top on.
Now if you want to get the top from the same place i did, it is called Miami Corp (web page) they are located in Ohio and in North Carolina.
The easiest thing for you to do is to call their toll free number and ask them for their prices on your top and what you need to do to get them shipped to you.
Their number is (toll free) 1-800-543-0448
The top i purchased was made by Ez-on.
If you have any more questions just post i will be happily obliged to reply to them.
i hope this helps you in your quest to replace your convertible tops.

I got a top and the headliner for 320$ at the local vw shop. Putting the top on is pretty easy except putting the rear cable through. Intead I put a thinner cable through it and made my own loops with cable crimps.
