I have been trying to get in touch with them as well. I order a top in January 2009 I recieved it in June 2009. I have been having problems fitting the top. Now I see why they wont answer my calls. If anyone wants a project to fit my 987 top on their Boxster Please feel free to make me a reasonable offer and I would be glad to unload.

Sorry that you are having problems, but at least you got something. You are in a better

position then a lot of people.

Christoph Zeinecker, the sole director of Zeintec, has posted a message on the Zeintec Website. If you click on "products" you will see that he is trying to sell his own Porsche. The car is financed and I don't think any of the sale proceeds will come our way!

Ha, so now I'm going to buy a used car from that guy? If it wasn't so tragic, that would be funny. Does this mean he's going to answer his cell phone now, or has he got a new number? What a sleaze; he was undercutting his own distributors, collecting the money, all the while knowing he wouldn't be delivering any product.

Dear bcsellie,

I don't know who there other supplier is, but I do know they were screwed over by Zeintec too.

I don't know that they did in fact take orders with the knowledge they could not fulfill them.

They took "orders" and money from people on the day before they closed their business.

What do you think? Do you think they had any intention of fulfilling them?

I have it on good authority that Zeintec ceased business on April 30. If customers have paid money up front for a top,or anything else for that matter, they will need to contact a lawyer in South Africa to make a claim on the company. The future is unknown and it is a great shame that such a promising product will no longer be available. The moulds and patterns would be worth a small fortune but much expertise is required to produce a quality product from GRP. I think the company became obsessed and distracted by product development (very expensive) and did not spend enough time on marketing the tops which should have been the product to produce their "bread and butter".

Actually I think it is a shame they stole money from people by continuing to take orders when they knew they had no intention of delivering the products.

Hmm, I feature that in my book too (see Figure 3 here, for those who have no idea what we're all talking about here: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Boxster_Tech/69-BODY-Hardtop_Installation/69-BODY-Hardtop_Installation.htm). That would be a shame if they are no longer available. I think they were made in South Africa, right?

I wouldn't feature them. They have stolen money from me and apparently quite a few other people.
