I'm ready to order a new top with glass rear window
 
Can someone tell me if there is a major difference between these 2 and is it worth the extra money? Thank you!

I would check with your local installer, the fabric is essentially the same but there may be differences in the installation.

Ebay has a cheaper option, its only $439 shipped and has the heated hookup Porsche Boxster Convertible Top 97 02 in Black Stayfast Cloth with Glass Window | eBay

A5 is the OEM German made material. Twillfast is a lower cost but still high quality alternative.

I completely disagree with this.

I put the GHAA top on my S. It had a glass window and their acoustic fabric. It made the car as quiet with the top up as the Hard top. Worth every penny. Fabric matters!

The acoustic material was far superior than OEM.

Can anyone recommend an installer in the L.A. area?

This top has a heated glass rear window, what if you don't have the heated mirrors? I wonder if you can get this top with a plain glass window.

All boxsters a have a plug behind the drivers left ear to plug in a rear window defroster.

If you don't want to use it, don't plug it in.
