Thumbs up 30K service with GAHH glass top

Had 30K service today with spark plug change. No complaints from dealer about reduced access to engine compartment with GAHH glass top. No additional charges.

That would be because they don't need to access the top of the engine for those items.

They should have checked the power steering fluid too.

How much did the GAHH top with glass cost?

Did you get it with the defroster and does it fit like the original even when down?

I bought directly from GAHH in California. If you look on ebay, there are some for less, not sure who makes it though. Just look for a local installer who has installed these on Boxsters before. If you call GAHH, they will refer you to a local installer as well. Installation was about $600.
