WillyT, to be clear, there are two types of glass window conversions available for pre-2003 boxsters: buy a fabric top with a small glass window instead of the larger plastic window, or buy a top frame from a 2003-2004 boxster that incorporates a larger glass window.
Mine came with plastic and it was the first thing to wear our. I have replaced the top a couple of times with the smaller glass. I don't really have a problem with the reduced viz but that may be a factor for you. It also lessens the space you have for engine service but I have not found that to be a game changer either. I would never go back to plastic. If you are reasonbly patient and have basic mechanical aptitude, you could change your top in a weekend. Good, thorough instructions abound.
If you can find a 2003-2004 frame with a good top, the swap is not difficult and easier than replacing just the fabric, though I have not done this swap. I would consider this myself for my next top replacement but the frames are hard to find.
