Top Liner

Does anyone know if the convertible top liner can be retrofitted to the pre 2001 Boxsters?

Thanks
Clint

Autotops Direct sells one:
Porsche Boxster Headliners
The information on their web site indicates that some sewing would be required. I have not seen a set of DIY instructions for this, so I'm not sure it is something a typical owner could do. You might need to find an upholstery shop.

I retrofitted a 2004 top and frame to my car. That included a headliner. While the 03/04 tops are hard to find, you could probably find a top and frame from an 01 or 02 car (or a 2000 S) more easily. These came with the headliner. If you found an inexpensive top and frame, you could add one of the retrofit glass window tops and have a nice upgrade.

bump, anyone retrofit the liner to a pre-2000? They mention needing sewing to attach it, is the plastic retainer the same or was it changed to accommodate the liner? Anyone have a good photo of how the liner attaches?

Found the window on my '97 is starting to tear & looking into replacement options.. Anyone regret installing a glass window replacement top on their early car? Specifically this one: 1997-2002 Porsche Boxster Convertible Top Replacement
