Replacing the rear window can easily be done. Whether you have the time, patience and/or inclination to remove the top is up to you (I wouldn't). My last Boxster needed the rear window replaced so I took it to a marine/auto upholstery shop and they had no trouble. Your insurance coverage is about 50/50 some do, some don't.

My cost for a reliable recommended shop was $500. Your cost may vary. Go to a shop recommended to you by the local/state Porsche club or other quality car club.

Bala - think I was the first guy to talk with you on the forum, do I go to front of line? . Nice in NC this time of year take some vacation, I'll change the seats out, put mine in, help you fix that window, detail the car. I'm a little guy and would fit perfectly in those. So just kidding, good luck with your new find, sounds like you have a nice little extra option on that car.

Jake,
Is the tinted vinyl the same as the original plastic? Or is it more cloth type? Is there any flapping? Could you also please let me know where you got the tinted vinyl? Thanks.

I'm not sure how this forum works as far as for sale items are concerned but generally first come first served is what the others do. Let me determine what the appropriate price would be. I did pay more for the things that came with the car. Stay tuned.
