There are 2 types of glass window top swaps.

1. uses the entire frame and top from a 2003-2004 wreck.
2. The other re-uses the existing frame from a 1997-2002 Boxster and uses a special glass windowed top made especially for the older Boxster frame. No mods to the lifting mechanism necessary.

Ask the local P-car dealer where he sends cars for window replacement. Or ask at boat dealers or upholstery shops that do boats. Make sure they have done a Boxster before and talk with the tech to see how he is going to do it.

Once you have the window in, maintain it with a plastic polish that restores the oils in the plastic that keep it supple. (I use Novus 1, 2 and 3)
