If your year 986 Boxster came with a plastic window and has a three bow frame, you cannot substitute glass for the original vinyl. The cutout for the vinyl window is too large for the rear section of the top to fold safely and for the glass to clear the roll bars at their rear surface, and the glass would crack. The optimum solution is replacing the entire frame and canvas with a used OEM '03 or '04 top. http://sites.google.com/site/mikefocke2/in...ndframeona%2797 Regards, Maurice. thank you very much. It was very helpfull and quick. Hello, I'm selling a like new black 2001 986 top and frame on e-bay now.. bidding starts at 550.00 or make an offer... includes the window protector sheet.
