That would be because Trimer lists his car as an 03

The glass window on a 2000 does limit access to the engine somewhat but it is still very manageable

It also has a much smaller rear window for viewing in the rearview mirror

That seems like a great price

I have a Gahh top with glass window and German A5 material and love it. Mine was around $1500 installed and I would never go back to a lame plastic window again. The glass does make it slightly more challenging to get into the engine bay but sheesh... the minor inconvenience once a year is outweighed 100 fold by the magnificent clear glass window that no longer requires a Boxster chop each time you open your top. I say go for it!

I learn something everyday on this site. 3 bow or 4 bow...was not even aware that the tops would be different. my last box was an 02 with the plastic and for what it is worth, I also would have given up a little when putting into service mode to have the glass window on the 02 as well. never needed changed but hands down the glass window is fantastic.
