Need A new Top, ebay safe?


Recommended Posts

I need a new top, my plastic window broke in the cold. I want to upgrade to a glass window, and have read a few people like the GAHH top for our models. GAHH has their top listed for $900.00 but I have seen them on ebay new for $600.00, and I was wondering if anyone has bought a top from ebay, and if so what their experience was. Thanks

Have you considered installing a used glass windowed top and frame from an '03 or '04 Boxster? It's much easier than stripping off the old top and installing the new canvas top from GAHH and there are a couple of other advantages over the GAHH or Robbins top as well.

I've done both (stripping and replacing canvas and installing a complete top and frame) and there is no comparison.

That said, the advantage of not having to get out to do "the chop" or to worry about the plastic cracking is very satisfying, whichever glass version you go with.

Here is a DIY that's got lots of information on the advantages/disadvantages of the various options available: http://sites.google.com/site/mikefocke2/in...ndframeona%2797

Good luck!
