My 1992 5.0 Convertible Mustang Needs A New Top

Well as you can probably tell by the photo and title of this entry my recently purchased 1992 Mustang Convertible has started to leak.  I think the big giveaway is the Halloween candy bowl acting as a drip bucket in my front passenger seat but thats the only thing I could find in a driving rainstorm on short notice the other night.  Yes I could have pulled the car into the garage but taking out the Cobra after I just washed it was not an option so she sat in the driveway leaking into the candy bowl.

Now when I purchased the car it did not leak but I knew the top had to be replaced as it's pretty worn along with it being the original top. So from what I have been reading on different forums convertible top installation is best done by the pros and not by the weekend warrior with basic handtools. 

This all happend before the holidays so getting it somewhere to be replaced was pretty much out of the question and then stomaching the cost is another issue.  I did make a call to one well respected shop in my area and I was given a quote in the range of $800-$1K for replacing the top and back window depending on what extra parts that were needed.  Never having to replace a convertible top I am unsure what a fair price is so I guess I am looking for some answers, if anybody has had their top replaced or knows what the typical price is post them up in the comments and let me know.  Thanks in advance.
