Boxster Convertible Tops

[rsakhare]

Thanks Mike! Actually I've checked w/ several top installers and boat canvas places and they all say that replacing the whole top is the best option. They admit that no matter how well a new plastic window is sewn in, it invariably WILL leak at some point. I have a friend who's been a Porsche certified master tech for over 30 yrs. and he had a very reputable installer sew in a new window and it leaked so he just bit the bullet, bought a factory top from ebay, and installed it himself (about 10 hrs. labor). I think I'll just buy a factory top and use your very useful R&R instructions and DIY. Only the factory tops come w/ new seals, stripping, etc.; that's why I shy away from aftermarket. Does anyone know where I can buy a black factory top (A5 German Sonnenland canvas)? I've checked ebay but no dice.
