Change History

I don't see any change in the steps to get the top in service position besides the one extra step of attaching the built in strap to hold the back of the window up. There's no difficulty in that to me, and the benefits of the glass over plastic are overwhelming, IMO. I'm pretty confident that for the majority of people who convert their tops from plastic to the OEM glass, they won't be disappointed.

EDIT: oh, perhaps you mean that with the 03/04 tops, you get slightly less open access to the top of the engine vs. the plastic window which crumples out of the way- yes, that is true, but IMHO, the difference is not an issue because you still have plenty of room to do most everything you need to (except maybe for the hardcore mechanic like you ;) ). I mean, Porsche's been offering these glass tops as standard since 03 on the Boxster now...that's 7 years and counting of cars that need to be maintained, so engine access can't be that much of an issue. ;)
