I'm beginning to look for a hardtop (while prices are low in spring) and wanted to get some advice on the importance of year.

I have a 2003 Boxster. I know that any hardtop from '97 to '04 will fit and I also know that the '97 and '98 hardtops have "ears" on the side. Other than that, are there any other differences? Are some years more prone to rattles than other years? Should I be looking for a top closer to my model year, as opposed to purchasing a ’97 or ’98 top?

Appreciate your comments. Thnx
