Zeintop...on a 2001 Boxster??

[DerrickCaracter]

is it possible?? or is it only available for 2004+ models?

[Steve Tinker]

I don't believe they are available anymore - they went bust earlier this year.
Unless I've missed out somewhere.......

Apparently they will fit, but Steve's right, they did go belly up. There are probably still find some out there for sale...

My recollection of reading the threads from those that installed them is that there is a LOT of fiddling to do.

Ebay search zeintop on ebay- there is still a guy that sells them and has them in stock- he has them for the 987 and the 986's last time I checked -

Mine is for sale. It is designed for 986 Boxsters, from 1997 through 2004. In Arctic Silver. PM if interested.

Zeintec is out of business. There is talk of another company making them again, this time in Canada, but who knows when or if that will happen.

If you are referring to Xtreem Motor Cars on eBay, they don't have any tops. They were a Zeintop dist before Zeintop went belly up and have said they are working on a prototype copy of the Zeintop but don't actually have any in production yet. They claim their eBay listing is just to gauge the number of people who will commit to buying a top from them. It sounds like another sorry chapter in the Zeintop story.


And yes there is also the possibility that a company (with some ties to the original Zeintop producers) is bringing production of an updated version of the top to Canada, but I haven't heard any recent info or updates on this in a while.
