Have you tried some Plexus?

Just received a quote this week to replace the top on my 99 Boxster with a gah-top w/plastic window here in Orlando FL, $1537.00 & about +$300 for the glass version (that includes installation).

For a Robbins or GAHH top with a glass window on my 97 the parts plus labor was looking to be about $1700-1800, about which $700 was labor.

See if the person you spoke to will be willing to do the job if you purchase the top yourself and have them install it for the cost of labor. If they are, you can save yourself a few hundred dollars on the top by going to www.autotopsdirect.com. Since you're not going for the top of the line acoustic model, it'll likely be a good amount less than the retail cost from the shop purchasing it. Usually it's about a $200 difference in cost, so it's an option you can consider.

sounds about right. the top was $1000 and another 500 (or so) for installation.

i am glad i got the glass top. a little bit of a pain but so far nothing too bad. would not think twice to do it again.

i still have the old top - black with clear plastic. if you want it it's yours (or anyone else who might want one), just pay for shipping or come pick it up (pm for more info). apparently the plastic was replaced at some point, but there are no tears. though since it's been sitting in the closet for a while it does have a crease but i would think that would come out after being put in and stretching for a bit.
