Default Replacing 911 Cabriolet Top

I have a 1985 911 Cabriolet, and the top is starting to show some significant wear. I want to replace the top, and got quoted $1,800 at the Porsche shop that I use. I found factory certified tops on the internet for $300-$600, but am curious if anyone has any experience putting one of these on themselves. From what I can tell, it doesn't look like it would be too bad of a job, but don't want to get in over my head. Any thoughts? Special tools needed? Reliable vendor to purchase from?

Thanks for any input. Mike
