Uro,

Click the GAHH link to the left for a top with glass light. BTW, I'm taking my boy up to the Gap this week for a spin. We'll likely stay in Townsend, etc. and drive to it. If I see you, I'll wave!

Hope the weather is good for The Gap.

I don't know where Townsend is.

Do you know of a good installer that could put on a new top with glass around here?

When I find out, I'll let you know. I have an '02 986S, so I'm shopping as well.

So are you saying that when it's warm there chop is not longer mandatory,,

From about December to March it's pretty much always above 80F here in Perth, Aust..

If it's is outside for 30 min or more my current car generally gives an inside air temp of at least 90F for 6 months of the year.. (we are experiencing a severe drought... bad for farmers... but looking good for ease of lowering the top! )

I can only speak from my personal experience - warm days with a well trained window left me chopless without issues. Once it got cooler - I learned the hard way why the chop is best.

The more pliable your window, the less chance you will get a pinch or crack. That said - if you aren’t a gamblin' man - I'd chop every time just incase.

Where's the UroTrash patented repair procedure/kit as was done with the RMS? Or does someone already have the market with a roll of duct tape?

I think CJBoxster's patented rear window repair kit uses clear packaging tape so the driver doesn't lose his rearward vision. Genius!
