According to this web site: https://sites.google.com/site/mikefocke2/installinga%2703-%2704glasstopandframeona%2797

You can install an '03 or '04 glass windowed top on any of the earlier 986 Boxsters (1997-2002), which all came with a vinyl rear window from the factory. If you plan on installing one on a 1997 to 1999 Boxster, and want the more reliable operating system, then you will also have to replace the 'A Version' transmissions, mounting studs, cables, and double relay, as well as doing some rewiring in the areas briefly described above.

It looks like you can keep your “A version “ transmission, but the “B style” may be less trouble prone.

I know this is an old thread - but this is where all the information is and I have a question. I have a '98 Boxster with upgraded "version B" convertible top transmission but leveraging the original micro switches that touch the convertible frame and an arm sticking up from the convertible top motor for the clam shell. I just picked up a 2003 convertible top with rear glass and also grabbed the updated convertible top motor, the new convertible top relay and the wire that plugs into the driver's side convertible top transmission.

Question - I understand that this newer relay has an extra blade and that I need to add a female connector to the panel (and do some wiring) to get this fully operational. Does anyone have a part number for this female connector?

Thanks in advance!
