Saint Louis specific - local shop to fix rear window or replace top?
 
I am a member of the St. Louis PCA, even went to the monthly PCA dinner last month, but I'm apparently not on any mailing list and I've tried emailing the local president but no response.

The rear plastic window is separating from the fabric top. It's garaged at night but I'm afraid this may allow rain in while I'm at work or driving in the rain.

Is there a shop or a guy in Saint Louis, Missouri you guys recommend?

I searched the forum and found this thread:
http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/28649-rear-window-torn.html

and someone said they had their rear window repaired for $150 using this $40 vinyl material:
Kal Glas 40 Gauge Vinyl Window Material 29" x 68"

but I still need to find someone familiar with doing this. I'd give it a shot myself but I have a horrible time with getting distracted from large projects and never finishing them :confused: :rolleyes:

If I can't find someone then I might just replace the top. Is anyone familiar with ebay seller hindsightseeing? He sells tops with glass for less than $500 shipped which seems like a good deal
Porsche Boxster Convertible Top 1997-2002 | eBay

how funny: on this page in the top right corner was an ad for GAH Tops. I went to their site and they recommended several local installers.

Guess I'll just replace the whole top and get a glass rear window, it's about 10x more but it's worth it for me to not have to spend 10+ hours and end up with a half-assed job :D

Just go to any marine or automotive upholstery shop. They will do a fine job.
