Had my hard top made by Canvas Creations but I heard that the owner died.
Compared to your quote I got ripped off.  I think I paid about $3500.  He
worked with me extensively to get the height and window angles maximized
for functionality and ergonomics. I'm a little mixed on the asthetics
though.  It's hard to maintain an attractive look with enough height and
length while also keeping the usability of the side tracks.  I don't use
them but didn't want to obstruct them.  In retrospect it may have been a
better choice to just give them up.
