WTB: 03/04 convertible top with glass window.

Hey folks.

I'm interested in replacing my current plastic window with a glass window. I've heard that 03/04 OEM top exchange is the easiest way to do it. If you have one, please PM me your price. Thanks.

Hey Tuan,

I'm in the same boat. Let me know if you find a source for these. Guessing it would have to be someone a salvage place?

For what it's worth, I contacted DC Automotive which appears to be a very large Porsche salvage / used part firm. They have an '03 black/glass soft top and quoted $2000 shipped (NC->TN). That seemed really high to me for a used top. Now I'm leaning towards the GAHH top.

yeah, i called around too. seems as if they are the only one that has it in stock right now. but i agree. the price is kinda steep in comparison to what i have read on this forum. others have only paid about $1000. so, i'll just wait for a better deal. hopefully soon.

I was recently looking for an 03/04 frame and top. I ended up installing the retrofit top, and I'm very happy with the results. I ordered my top from autotopsdirect.com. After a ton of research, I came to the conclusion that GAHH and autotopsdirect use the same source for their retrofit tops. They provided a 40 page PDF installation guide with pictures.

It took about a week to get to here after I ordered. I spent Saturday evening removing the old canvas, and most of Sunday installing the new one. I definitely took my time, however. It was a lot easier than I expected (the trickiest part involved spray adhesive), and the results look amazing, plus no fiddling with any top adjustments! The best part: what I had orginally planned for $1000+ purchase ended up costing only 600.

If you guys have any questions or would like some pictures, just let me know.
