I am curious if any body knows the answer, any body did the conversion? I have a friend who wants to put a new 2003 glass back window top to a 02 Boxster S. Any clue?

The 02 Boxster my friend had come with the storage/speaker box right underneath the roll bars and on top of the engine compartment. Does the glass window going to fit with that storage box?

First of all it will cost about 5-8 thousand dollars for the conversion. So if your buddy still want to do it the entire top and the skeleton will have to be changed

Money is not a concern for this project, but i have spoke to a few persons, no one seems to have a positive answer whether it will fit or not even with a whole new top and frame/skeleton from Porsche!

if money is not a concern, I would trade the car in for a new one.. he could probably get one for not much more than the cost of the conversion..

The speaker/storage box is not an issue since it did not change for 2003.

Part number for a black top with glass window is 986 561 915 05 A10 for $2,069.20. Top frame with the additional bow is 986 561 911 04 A09 for $6,534.16. Plus labor to do the work.

Do not know anyone who has done it due to the cost. Guess your friend will be the first. Jeff

controlit, i like what you said!

But the project will be financed by an insurance settlement (factory top got vandalized), the insurance company will pay for the price of the replacement top.

I have asked couple porsche specialists and none of them said it is a go even if you change the whole top skeleton.

Anyone has an idea?
