New Glass Window Top

"Hmm, this might be happening a little to the top of my glass window. I thought I was just seeing things but you may be right."

Porschekid,

What exactly are you seeing? When did you purchase your top?

Thanks,

The $625 glass window top on Ebay is distributed by a company called Convertible Tops Online out in CA (convertibletopsonline.com). I have called and talked to John @ CTO about it. They are German canvas, you can hook up the rear defrost if you have it, the top folds flat like the plastic top version. It uses the same hardware your top has now, etc...... There is also a company on Ebay called Cabrio World that has one for $925 or so but I haven't spoken to anyone there. I would love to hear if anyone has one installed from CTO as I am getting ready to get a new glass window top for my 99. Thanks

The one from Cabrio World is made by GAHH. The other guys, PorscheKid, ddb, and others have that one. GAHH is based out of SoCal, they've had the glass window top out for a for a while. AFAIK, the one from Convertible Tops Online just came out. Convertible Tops Online is a division of Nachos Auto Upholstery, also based out of SoCal.

BTW, Convertible Tops Online quoted my $550 for installation.

These are the only 2 shops in the US that I know of who make the glass window top replacement for older Boxsters.

When the GAHH top first came out, you could get it for like $650, but then the price crept up to the $900's. I think the CTO top will increase in price as it becomes more established, but not as much as the GAHH. I also think the GAHH top will come down in price a bit ---- capitalism, gotta love it.

Thanks for the scoop. I live in FL so I have a few shops here that have been recommended for the install but I dont have a price yet. I'll throw the quote up here when I get it.
