Bopper,
I've had two tops installed with glass over the last 4 years. ( I use it ALOT) I paid $600 each time to have it done. It is done well, I just had to make some minor weatherstripping improvements. Problem for me though is I live under a lot of oak trees and just one pebble sized particle would get in the linkage and cause a pin hole tear that would grow over a short period of time due to stress.
I have talked to a lot of upholstery types and they say I am out of luck because any fix wouldn't hold up to stress.
So it really depends on were the tear is. Good luck.
