1. Bite the bullet and find a local shop that HAS EXPERIENCE on replacing the top on a Boxster. Sure you could do it yourself but trust me, I strongly suggest a pro. Top w/ labor will be about $1,000-$1,400 (depending on location and labor rates)

2. Suggest you let the shop buy the top. Only a couple of choices but best to let the shop choose based on their experience.

3. Glass window or plastic window? The glass is smaller than the plastic but the glass window will never haze over, crack or scratch and never develop a crease. the glass window has defrosting wires that will plug into your cars defroster controls (most Boxsters) The plastic window is larger.
(In my case I really didn't care that the glass window is smaller because 99% of the time my Boxster is driven top down and only in the summer, not year round.

Just my 2 cents ....like discussions on "best oil to use" I'm sure others will have their own opinions.....good luck.
All good advice. Any opinions on fabric? Twillio vs German A5? What about service mode with a glass top, any problems?
