Year Round Boxster

[fishage]

Hi everyone,

Just bought a babied 2002 as my year-round daily driver. I'm originally from northern New England, so the winters here in the mid-Atlantic don't really scare me off too much.

I just picked up a dedicated set of winter wheels with Pirelli SnowSport 240s on them.

Now I'm debating whether I should pick up a hardtop or the GAHH glass window soft-top upgrade. I guess my main goal is to have a defrostable rear window that I can't easily destroy with a snow brush. I've seen some pretty good deals out there on used hardtops, but I'm also in an apartment, so storage during the warmer months wouldn't be easy.

Any comments from folks who have experience with either or both?
Also, any other winterizing notes from other all-seasoners?

Thanks.
