Not that simple, but not that complicated, either.
You won't have to replace the electric motor, it's the same part number. You will have to re-route the wires to/from the two microswitches on the earlier Boxsters (B-Pillar and small metal lever on top of motor). Then provide for a connection for those two sets of wires to the new connector needed for the driver's side transmission. Then replace the relay. From Atle's most recent post, it appears as though another wire had to be cut to eliminate the "top open" light when the top is in closed position.
Like Boxtaboy said, when I do mine I should have more definitive answers. I'm just waiting for that little connector before I proceed. Another couple of weeks should do it.
