so why don't these dip**************** shops in Houston want to replace just the window?!??!?! I've called a few and they will ONLY sell me a new top.


oh well - guess I have to call all 500 shops to find one!


Thanks for all the replies! (keep them coming)

Too bad you're in Houston, around here in Pennsylvania, a lot of my friends with convertibles have had the Amish upholsterers (sp?) replace their plastic windows.. most of the time it only costs about 80 bucks for the vinyl, and around 75 to 100 for the labor.... None of my friends drive Boxsters, though, so I don't know if it would be different on that.. I can't imagine why it would be..

One note: All of the glue-only vert windows that I have seen looked arse-ugly after about 6 months or less... I'd avoid that if I were you.
