Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I installed an 04 top and frame on my 2000 Boxster a few years ago. Now, the fabric has a hole in it and is developing several wear spots. I'm thinking of replacing the top fabric and I have been searching for pictures of aftermarket tops installed on an 03 or 04 frame. (I've found plenty of pictures of installations on pre-2003 frames.) The pictures on the top-seller's web sites are fairly small and don't show details such as the rear window clearly. I'd appreciate it several members would post pictures of their 03 or 04 aftermarket tops with good views of the rear windows. Please specify the brand you used. Thanks in advance.
