WTB Conv. top w frame, glass window 2004, 2005

Buying a new glass top from eBay doesn't require a new frame. The fitment on those are horrible.

Right. I didn't mean to imply that it required a new frame. It does have to be installed on whatever frame you intend to use, presumably your old frame, and that will cost about $700 to have professional done. Wayne has an excellent tech article on how to install it yourself: Porsche Boxster Glass Window Convertible Top Installation - 986 / 987 (1997-08) - Pelican Parts Technical Article
I have swapped an engine and installed two IMS bearings and I cringe at the though of installing a top on the frame.
My point is that you can buy a good quality new top (on or off eBay) that will fit the 97-02 frame, rather than buying a 12+ year old top from an 03-04, but it will not be any cheaper unless you do the install yourself.

The fitment on those are horrible.

Mine has no problems with fitment. It was supplied by the installer, but I think it is the same top that is available from the eBay vendors.
