I have a 97 and the same thing has happened to mine. I am taking my convertible top off and going to an upholstery shop to have a new window sewn in. I'm doing it this week. Wish me luck. The price for this was only $100. My top is like new, and I wanted to save a couple bucks. When I talked to the upholstery shop, they told me not to lower the top under 65-70 degrees. They said the same thing happens on old cars that have vinyl seat covers on them. When the seat covers got too cold they pop and crack. They also said this happens to old cars with a vinyl top. They said when the vinly tops get cold and an acorn or debris falls on the vinyl, the vinyl gets small cracks that get larger. All I know is that when I get my window replaced the top is staying up until at least 70 degrees.
Do the newer Boxsters have real glass back there, and is there a way to get this top in my 97?
