I bought a new top online ($1025) and a refurbished hydraulic pump ($350 from Top Hydraulics), had them installed by local body shop ($880 labor) for $2255 total. After the install was complete, the body shop told me there is a hydraulic leak on the passenger side (they saw hydraulic fluid running down the side). There was never a drop of hydraulic fluid found by me or the dealership before I gave the car to the body shop. Of course they say the leak caused the top problem and they won't work on it anymore.
