Replacing vent covers

I think it's time to replace the vent covers on the roof of the 5er. Ultraviolet really does a number on plastic. Not really too interested in climbing on roof to do the job. What should I expect to pay for time and materials? Looking for some average so I'll know if I'm getting a reasonable price quote.

Anyone done this?

    If you are talking about the crank up covers, most of the work is done inside. It is not hard to take apart and you could have most anyone go on the roof to slide old cover off/slide new cover on. You would reconnect the new from inside and done.

    I had my done in Las Vegas by a mobile repair guy. The vent was only 15.00 to 20.00 bucks, but the labor was about 80.00. You should be able to get it cheaper, mobile repair is not cheap.
