How much?

Doesn't piss you off when you hear. Mine went on great ,I had no problems here, fits perfect. I'm waiting for someone to say I put mine on in 20 degree weather when it was snowing out and had no problems. It's a 50/50 shot if your going to get one that's a bitch to put on or not. I finally got mine on correctly and now I'm scared to touch it. I'm going to let it stretch out for a week or two before I touch it again. I sold my OEM top so im going to have to deal with the rear window channel. Hopefully it get easier over time too.

That's a good question. I'm sure you can and I'm sure its pricey. I'll stick with the one from besttop for a while if it doesn't loosen up then ill deal with it. The hole top is going to loosen up over time. Id rather have it tight now and loosen to fit then have it fit good and be too loose down the road.
