I'd also look into getting a complete top with frame off of a 03-04 car. It's a cinch to pull the entire thing off and reinstall with a helper.

I had a top installed on my old 986 by the PO, and it never looked right fit wise. If you get one put on, be a stickler and send it back for readjustment if it doesn't look 100% factory tight when they're done.

I had glass rear window on my 2000, and it was more difficult than it should've been to get under to do maintenance. I was able to do waterpump, air filter, clutch, IMSB, and top transmission with it on though. I realized, however, that it was super easy to unbolt and lift off after those jobs and did that for future work.
