Piece of cake!
I've replaced a few Boxster tops, tops and frames etc. Not an expert but I've dealt with this issue before. Cutting to the chase, I had little luck with 3M double sided tape, even though it was referred to in top install instructions (as with 350Z tops).
3M contact adhesive did the trick for me every time.
1. Remove rubber seal from the top (go slow with seal as its $$).
2. Clean surface and top fabric
3. Instead of spraying adhesive onto top frame, get a paper plate and spray adhesive onto the plate. Use disposable paint brush (or foam brush) to apply adhesive the the top frame and the fabric. Wait a few minutes (can't remember the exact time but 5-10 minutes seemed about right).
4. Attach fabric to the top and secure while drying (clamp, tape, whatever you'd like.)
5. After adhesive cures, reattach rubber seal and you're all set!
