I installed the glass GAHH top on my '99. Love having the glass window! The only drawback is I don't have full access to the engine bay. The glass prevents the rear of the top to fold fully up, so the access is reduced. You can eliminate this problem by doing just as Schoir said and retrofitting a donor top from an '03-'04. And, I think that route is actually cheaper. I think I've seen folks get them for $400-500? Plus shipping. The top I bought from GAHH was $925 shipped. And in addition, I think it's much easier to retrofit the '03-'04 top than it was taking the old top apart and installing new canvas on it. Took me around six hours.
