Anyone looking for a OEM top w/ glass window?
 
eBay item number:161139495389
No affiliation, I just happened to run across this top on Ebay while perusing Boxster parts. I did this mod a few years ago and it is one of my favorites, so I thought I would bring this opportunity to the attention of fellow forum members. Mine bolted right in, following directions posted by Boxtaboy and others.

just for your attention, this is not an OEM glass window top.
this is the "2 ribs" (97-02) frame fitted with an after market glass top.
the OEM top (03-04) has an additional rib, and a frame around the glass window.

sometimes we get exited when we see a good deal, and overlook the details.
happened to me so many times to me in the past.

I just bought a Hard Dog Hard Core Hard top M2 roll bar for my son's Miata on eBay. It just arrived today, and it is the sport bar and not the hard core. I called the manufacturer to confirm and they easily spotted the difference, and once they did, I could tell from looking at the pictures. I hope the seller makes it right for me ($80 difference, luckily the sport M2 meets the safety reqs for PCA HPDE).

Now I wish I would have just bought it directly from Bethania Garage and not ebay.... If I ever get a replacement top I probably won't use ebay.... Hopefully that day is years off... my PO ad a new plastic window sewn in and it is still holding up great...

nothing is wrong with buying from ebay.
i got excellent deals on some parts. you just need to carefully look at the details.
in some cases the seller doesn't even know what he is selling.
