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.

POST 2Original post

I'm also looking those eBay tops. Doesn't look too bad to replace but not sure if I have the patience. Have you seen this? replacing the top It's from mike focke's " the top " page

POST 3Original post

Yes I bought one of those cheap tops off eBay a few years back for my 98 ,I think from CA ,my local installer said it did not fit very well, he claimed it was to short from side to side, and did not fit very good ,so we contacted them back the company then they sent me a new better robins top at no extra cost, and then paid for half the install the second time so I can not complain he charged $400 to install it

POST 4Original post

I install tops in N.J. As you can read in my posts, I prefer GAHH tops. They offer the ultramax tops. I also replace plastic windows.

POST 5Original post

go GAHH with a professional install. Better than factory. See my pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/jondirty/Porsche#
