The Boxster top is a joy to deal with compared to the car I spent most of my high school and college years with. A 1972 Ponitac Catalina convertible with that wonderful GM "Sissor top". You had to hold the switch with a broom handle while tugging and chopping on the material on both sides to get it to fold properly. When the top frame sticks halfway down, stand in the back seat, grab both front corners, jiggle like crazy, then grab the folding Sissor bars and push them to free them up.
Then hit the switch again to finish the drop. Same process going up.
And this was far from unique to my GM car. Burned up a top motor every couple of years. Tops would last 3 years at most.
The Boxster top, even with the plastic window, is bloody brilliant!
