Getting to the engine with a gahh glass top. help

[Bmod986]

I did push the glass a little on top of the roll bar and then had someone hold it for me. Didn't have a bungi near by. But that seems odd, and unpractical. Still in the pics you put up it seems that you don't have the roll bar in place. so you might have a bit more room. Unless its the angle that the picture was taken from, but in any case that makes me feel a bit better. If you have a picture from the side of te car showing the space between the windshield and the front of the top that would be great. Thanks again.

i don't have a full side view, but here's the side view nearer the window. and my roll bars were not removed. i guess it was just the angle...

actually the glass on the 2003+ is a little larger than the GAHH, but there's an extra rib in the top that allows it to fold up that cars before 2003 do not have. that's why some people replace the top with a top from a 2003+ to get the extra rip, instead of go with the GAHH top.

see above, but no, the glass is smaller than the '03 however the extra rib allows it to fold up. additionally, since 03 had the glass, porsche added the "strap" which older cars do not have.
