New Top Pictures

[Tool Pants]

Your dealer must have been thinking about the Porsche factory glass top from a 2003/04. This thread is about an aftermarket glass top.

The 2003/04 factory glass top will not work on your car because a 2003/04 has a 4 bow frame and a 1997-2002 with the plastic window has a 3 bow frame.

The aftermarket glass top will work on a 1997-2002. The glass window on the aftermarket top is not as tall as the factory glass window or the plastic window so it is able to tuck down when the top is closed.

Have you seen the top that is on ebay? That was the top that first sparked my question to the dealer.

If that doesn't work, I found the top on the ebay store DPS Porsche Parts. They sell it for $995. Is this the same thing?

The one offered in your link appears to be the same as the one manufacturered by GAHH. You can check it out at www.gahh.com.

Somebody here is trying to put together a group buy with some pretty good savings:

Group Purchase Details for Glass Window '97-'02

I would also say GAHH, plus the building in the background looks the same.

Here is a $750 deal. http://www.cabrioworld.com/secure/detail.asp?pID=454&modelID=413

I got the GAHH top w/ glass window put on my 2000 and put 5% tint all around on it and must say that I love it. No better feeling than not having to get out of my car and chop the top every time.

As I said before, I just got this car a couple months ago. I think it's Ocean Blue Metallic w/ a Metropol Blue top and Savannah Beige interior. Is there a way to be positive of the color, so that I am sure to order the right color top?

Sorry to ask so many questions!

You can contact GAHH for installers in your area. There may be an installer in your area that has a GAHH color sample book or perhaps a top in the shop. Maybe GAHH can mail a scrap piece to check out.
