Vinyl to Glass replacement or new top in Maryland

[Skrapmot]

I'm so amazed by the cheap labor in other states, I may just have to move before I'm bankrupt.
I've been spending the last month getting quotes for a new window vs a new GAHH glass top. I can't find any place cheaper than 1100 to put in a new window and the cost for a new top with install is 1600.

I have a 2000 S with a replacement top (glass window) and I have to say it does make it a real pain to get into service position, as the mechanism was designed for a folding window.

Try Premier Upholstery in Santa Clara. I had the top replaced there a long time ago on a previous Boxster when the GAHH glass replacement tops were just coming to market. They do good work. They won't be the cheapest price you'll find but they'll be a good starting point. $1600 sounds like it's a little high at this point but that's just a gut feel. It's been a long time since I did this.

it is not easy but it can be done and there are plenty of tutorials on the internet for how to do it assuming you read them carefully and take your time.
