==drop Top==

Ok so has anyone out there actually replaced the Boxster Conv. Top themselves? Very hard to do? Some what difficult? Recommend dealer/ pro only? My canvas material is great looks good & no leaks what so ever. Its just the OE plastic window, that looks like . Got a quote from a local reputable upholstery shop, which has experience redoing Conv. tops of all sorts. They quoted 9hrs @ $70/hr to remove and replace with a new top. Another shop said that they could remove the old plastic window and sew in a new one using the original top. But could not guarantee against any leaks etc. @ a cost of $495. I have thought of upgrading to the GAHH glass top, but for the cost of this upgrade I think I would want to the Remove and Install myself. Anybody have experience in this matter.

I have, it was hard but i was able to get it close to 100% complete myself, then i took it to a shop to have them fold the front part under the weather seal near the latch and only cost me 60 bucks... I'd say get most of it done yourself atleast.

Oh yeah, my finger tips hurt for days.

I have install many tops. I do this for a living. Not too easy for a do it yourselfer. Ask Jack @GAHH for a list of installers in your area. I charge $410.00 to install top and $525.00 to replace plastic window.

I strongly suggest you polish your current rear plastic window using PLEXUS before you jump on to a top or plastic window replacement(>$400). I can personally attest that PLEXUS would definitely take off most of the "yellowing" and microscratches. Ived used it regularly to polish the inside and the outside of my 01 rear window which still looks very clear, and any plastic headlight.

I agree. I had a nasty rear window and just used plastic window cleaner I found at Pep Boys. It made it look almost new.
