3)epoxy it, make sure you don't use too much product which could cover the contacts you are attempting to connect.

I agree with eightsandaces for the fix, but he stated its under warranty. I am sure epoxy will work. Sodering would be my first choice, but who knows what the yahoos will screw up. If they only put a new window in, it might not be as water tight or secure as the factory. I think your best bet is to let them fix it and make sure it works after they fix it. Unless your top is in bad shape I wouldn't press for a new top. It could open a new can of worms with fit and finish. (just my 2 cents). remember water is the enemy of the boxster's computer system under the drivers seat. I have heard many horror stories of people forgetting to close their tops and the water fries their system.
