Replace soft top and frame

[NJBoxster2000]

Hi,
I have a 2000 Boxster S with the plastic back window. I always wanted to replace it witht he glass and defroster. Found a guy selling Haartz German A5 Singed cloth convertible top new in the box with glass window that he said will fit 97- 02. I have 4 questions:
1. how can the glass window fit without changing The frame when the plastic window folds?
2. if it does fit somehow, is $500.00 he is asking for it a good price?
3. How hard is it to install the top by myself/with friend or should I take it to the professional.
4. if its better to take it to a shop, what is the average price for install?

Thank you.

It will fit because the glass is smaller than the plastic window.
These tops are all over ebay, check it out to see if you get a good deal or not. There is plenty of information and how to install the top on this site.
