Will you have a Glass Missile tear itself loose from the top and shoot forward at you and your Passenger's heads? I mean there were already some Separation Issues with the 1st Gen GAHH Top. Has this thing been Crash-Tested? And, if you have installed a Rear Strut Brace, will it interfere with the Top folding..??

Here are some photos previously posted by Tool Pants in another forum of the BAS replacement top in the service position. I haven't done any service in the engine bay in my Boxster. Could someone tell me why this would restrict any servicing.
Good point about glass separation and a collision, Jim. As I understand it, BAS uses the same method as Porsche to bond the window to the top. Perhaps, Steve
Evans can validate my understanding.
