I just lucked out on this forum last October when someone posted an add for anyone to make an offer. He purchased the top a couple of years ago but got rid of the car before he was able to install it. Ended up sitting in storage in its original packaging. At any rate, it appears that many people are still interested so I expect the tops to be back on the market soon.

Type Zeintop and search the threads on this forum, rennlist and pelican parts to get an idea of what went down. Too many horror stories about people paying in full but never getting their tops. Its a shame since its a good quality kit using original porsche mounting hardware.
Shame. As you say I'm sure the moulds will surface again at some point in the future? Yours looks great.

HAHA Thanks cbbpop! Still looking for a pair of clear litronics at a price I can swallow. Meanwhile, I was planning to vinyl smoke it this weekend as someone suggested. For now, its the "scrambled egg look"

So what came first, the Zien Top or the Cayman? My guess is the Cayman, but it seems the Zien Top has been out an awfully long time and the Cayman just a couple of years.

If it is the Zien, did Porsche copy his design to make the Cayman?

Hi guys, I would like to clear it out and hopefull all of u understand and so sorry if my english not perfect. My name is Andreas Zeinecke i live in Switzerland and I`m the Inventor for that top.

EP2006010858 HARD TOP UPPER PART COMPRISING A COVER

the only mistake I make i give this idea and patent to my nephew.

I was and I`m still owner of Z-Art automotive with the business of Christoph (Zeintec) I have nothing do and believe I lost about him my good name and a lot of money as well. What people talking about is the result that Zeintec was`nt very honest to all people around him,my problem is we are carry the same family name.
Friends you can choose...but not your Family.
People around the world still thinks it was my bust also and write to my wall and of course I remove from my wall

But now after a long painfull way for me I was able to restart my business and produce the top with Gary as my partner for all 986 and 987 in a perfect quality again. We will sell with all hardware and glasses. The next step will be a home page soon. We will not call this top as Zeintop again we deal with our customer are very serious.
If any one of you like more information go to my fb side Z-Art automotive or leave me a message zeinecke@bluewin.ch
