That's the problem with those tops and why I stuck with a plastic window when relacing the top on my '99 (plus the plastic window is bigger and doesn't have those orange lines), and it is why Porsche went to a four bow design when they introduced the glass window in 03. If you have a 2000+ MY you can get a four bow roof assembly with the glass window from a 2003-04, but apparently they are not compatible with MY97-99, something about the electronics. I know this doesn't solve your problem - only changing back to a plastic window top can do that - but at least you know why you're screwed.

Hi I just bought my 1st Boxster 1999 about a month ago and I love it....except for one thing. The previous owner replaced the original convertable top with one that comes with a glass rear window, with defroster. Try as I might i cannot get the top out of the way to access the engine bay. The glass rear window hits the roll bars and the rear or the convertable top will not come far enough forward to have clear access. I have been able to reach through this small opening and take off the carpet and cover to do some work from the inside but it is very difficult. Does anyone have any suggestions to get the rear of the top further forward?

Thanks for the info, I guess until I wear this top out I will keep working from the inside.
