Someone sliced my plastic rear window!

Oh no! Now that I've already learned that the 03 and newer cars have a glass windowed top, I kinda wish I had bought an 03 or newer instead of my 02. I missed by one year!

Is there any way to put a glass windowed top on a car that came with plastic? I"m guessing it's expensive enough that it wouldn't be worth it, but who knows, I've been surprised by things before.

GAHH top installed for about 900-1200, OEM porsche glass window top with the required new framing @ 5000$. the aftermarket tops are very nice, the window is smaller, but it is hard to notice really.

You can install a used OEM glass windowed top from an 03 or 04 very easily on a '02, and there is no re-wiring or other parts needed. You can get the top from a junkyard or from someone who is setting up a dedicated track car. The going price for the complete top and frame assembly varies between $750 and $2500 and the whole conversion process takes less than 2 to 3 hours.
