I figure the top has served me well and 20 years is a good long life.

I located an installing company that has done lots of Boxster tops and does much of his work for a couple of local Porsche dealers in the area. It's important I use a experienced shop. I did some shopping around for price and (for the Chicago area) they seemed to come in at a price that was in line with others ($1,750 top and installation and tax..."out the door").

Anything else I should know, look for or expect?
What are you going to use your boxster chop arm for now tho lol. I love the look of my plastic window as its been changed before I got the car but I does put me off putting the roof down.

Be sure to post a picture
