That does sound like a great cost-effective alternative. I'm curious what the Porsche dealer charges to replace the plastic window. From what I've seen on the boards, it looks like most people are told to replace the top.
Just be aware that the installation is a complete PITA. There's a reason BMW went to zip-in replacements on late-model e30s and the e36, and I'd have to think the difficulty of accessing the plastic window from a 2-seat Boxster would be more difficult than a four seater with fixed rear seats, no headrests and no rollbars.
But even if you take it to a pro, it still is a hell of alot cheaper than a new top. An install of the rear plastic by a BMW dealer would run you 5-600 bucks.
