Default Spec Boxster plexiglass rear window... where to buy?
Any help appreciated. Would like to replace the stock glass in a factory hardtop.

Use cardboard and trace the window, take to local glass shop and have them cut it in lexan.

don't bother, the weight savings are marginal and the lexan will scratch. Glass is mo'better..

I agree, the weight savings is minimal compared to the weight savings of converting to a fiberglass hard top. IMO, I would leave the factory hard top as is, sell it, and buy a fiberglass top.
