The BAS Int'l top has been around just as long, or longer than the GAHH Boxster glass windowed top. One guy in Florida from another board had it shipped to him and installed years ago, and it is still going strong with no issues.

That being said, I agree with your point that it is good that a maker address the initial issues early on in the development process. The issue I have, however, is that they seemingly addressed the window separation problem by simply reinforcing the window pocket seal, instead of changing the window size/location in the top to try to alleviate the stresses that caused the separation in the first place. By just reinforcing the seal around the window, the window seal may still eventually fail after repeated up/down cycles because the stress put on the window during folding is not changed.

So far, I have not heard of one Robbins or BAS Int'l top having glass window separation issues, but I still hear of GAHH tops having window separations...witness another boarder here selling a GAHH top with a repaired window separation.
