I have just bought an 03 top with glass for my 01 and will install it this friday so I'll have first hand experience.

The 03/04 tops have 4 roof bows so the shape changes slightly, but they will fit 2000-2002 plug and play.

You should review this great writeup on the process if you are going that route:
Installing a '03-'04 Porsche glass top and frame on a '97-'02

The other options are the GAAH and similar tops that go over your existing frame. You can get them with glass windows as well but they glass is narrower because of the 3 bow frame and resulting folding pattern vs the 4 bow frame.
