I'm not sure but paying $3.70 a gallon and only getting 17mpg sucks. I mainly changed those parts based on the fact that it wasn't going to hurt and would hopefully only improve things.

I found what I was looking for... autotopsdirect.com. I know GAHH is a forum sponsor, but I just don't have the $ to shell out for one.

I'm a boxster owner who can't afford to just throw endless $ at it like some on here. It's def not a good situation to be in, but so far I've managed to make due. I'm a teacher who got bumped and now am only making aide pay, but spring is quickly approaching which means that more jobs should be opening up and everything will be good again once I get back to teacher pay... that's if Senate bill 5 doesn't pass here in Ohio

Search some more! I am 100% sure I read somewhere in one of the forums about a guy who simply replaced the window for very little $$. Thread had pics and instructions as well!!

I got my glass window top from Auto Tops Direct (not posting a link for the obvious reason) it was $600 for the A5 acoustic material
My installer said that it's very similar to the GAHH top
Instructions for install can be found in "101 projects for your Boxster"

Summer is coming = top down...tape window when on budget and top needed for rain .

No really I think you can get just the replacement plastic, I've seen it and the stitching isn't great but it will do...
