We did discuss using a GAHH top, but I thought those had a plastic trim piece around the rear window and mine does not.

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.

After 3 years of ownership of my 2002 I finally am free of the horrible plastic window that I could no longer see through. Total cost of new top installed at my Indy mechanic was 1150.00. Only thing I don't like is they have the defroster wires just laying across the speaker box, I may just unplug it all and go without it. Anyone in the fence about changing to a glass rear window, do it! The nice clear view out the Back is wonderful.
Congratulations...looks great and plan to do the same on my '02 S...looking fwd. to using the defrost button on my dash and saying goodbye to the boxster chop!
Very nice looking. Did the $1150.00 include both top and installation? That is an incredible price if it includes the top and installation for a GAHH top.
Looks good. I replaced mine with a blue GAHH top with glass also. I just ran the wires for the defroster under the trim. I did mine myself and saved 600 bucks. It really isn't that hard to do.
I will have to double check for sure. We did discuss using a GAHH top, but I thought those had a plastic trim piece around the rear window and mine does not. The fabric seems very similar to the factory original top. The top was 549.00 the rest was labor, we did deal for a discount because he wanted my secondary cats for something else
I am curious because GAHH does not advertise a $549.00 glass window replacement top for the Boxster on their website. Auto Tops direct does have one at that price point on their website.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
