CameronTX,

What was the outcome. Did the dealer do a straight swap??

CameronTX,

I fear it is not to be.

I have asked the dealer to replace my top. The existing one got scratched by a cat. Just search for cat problems, and you'll see. <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" />

Apparently, the mechanism is slightly different due to the glass rear window being unable to fold. The entire design is also slightly different thanks to the rear window, so it is technically improbable for it to be retrofitted.

I just replaced the glass rear window on my '02 convertible top which I badly scratched trying to get some tree sap off. It was $1,700 parts and labor
