I just replaced my top with a Robbins top with Glass. It Rocks

I've got a friend in the upholstery biz and assuming the guy cans sew, it boils down to the quality of the fabric. There are sort of 3 grades used for most tops, U.S., Japanese (hard to find) and German. You can probably guess the price and quality.

I think that guy has been selling those for at least a year. You might do well to check his feedback.

glass top is the only way to go, IMO. its the best thing you could do to your boxster

I got mine and installed it myself, its not as hard as people think/say. You just have to have some patience...it took me about 6-7 hours, I'm not sure but it took most of the day but I'm glad i did the install myself to save some money.

Has anybody ordered one of these? Arnt the glass tops like $1000? This would be 1/3 the price. Savings of $700! Also to note he has 100% feedback and SEVERAL of them are from porsche boxster owners!
