Porshe Black 1997-2002 Boxster Convertible Top

Fits all models between 1997 & 2002

HEATED GLASS WINDOW GERMAN A5B/DS ACOUSTIC CLOTH FACTORY RETAINERS

Our 1997-2002 Porsche Boxster convertible tops are manufactured in the USA using the original patterns and specifications. This convertible top is made with an upgraded German A5B/DS Acoustic cloth topping material and includes a new heated glass window and electrical wiring harness.

ABOUT THE WINDOW

New DOT rated glass window is securely bonded into the rear window section. From the exterior, the edge around the window has a clean, finished appearance with no piping needed to hide stitching, gluing or imperfections that may arise from other bonding methods. The fabric has been carefully notched by a computer controlled cutter around the radius to ensure proper adhesion around the entire perimeter to eliminate potential leaking. The technology is unique and protected by worldwide patents and we guarantee the bond to the original purchaser for the life of the vehicle.

ABOUT THE FABRIC

Manufactured using premium Haartz German Sonnenland A5B/DS, a superior quality topping with dobby backing. The topping material is an acoustically enhanced three-ply composite made of acrylic twill weave outer fabric, a rubber inner layer, and a polyester lining fabric. It provides up to 3dB (a significant) reduction to noise levels.

The German A5B/DS is an incredible new technology that effectively seals out road noise. These Tops have been time-tested in hundreds of installations, which is why we feel comfortable providing a 100% guarantee that you will not have any problems with the fit.

How Does A Glass Window Fit into the Boot?

1997-2002 Porsche Boxster convertible tops were offered with plastic rear windows. You can purchase a replacement top with either an original style plastic window or a glass window similar to the 2003 and newer Boxster. The Boxster glass window is a DOT approved aftermarket window with the safety emblems and includes embedded defroster wiring and a wire harness kit to connect it to the vehicle's electrical system.

Like the newer Boxsters, the glass windows for the 1997-2002 Boxster are smaller than the plastic window. This is necessary since the larger plastic window folds when it is retracted into the top boot. And since a glass window does not fold it's size is 35.5" wide by 12'' tall to allow it to fit into the boot properly.

The trade-off is a slight loss in visibility because of the size and a big gain in clarity in your rear view mirror looking through glass compared to a plastic window that will discolor over time.


Porsche Boxster Wiring HarnessHow to Connect the Wiring Harness

When you purchase the glass window convertible top from us, you receive a new rear window defroster wiring harness.

For all Boxsters sold in the US, with heated, electric mirrors there is a connector behind the seat belt harness on the driver's side where you can plug in the wiring harness.

One side of the wiring harness plugs into the window connector. On the other side there are two defroster connectors. One side is for negative and the other side for positive.

Just plug the harness to the window and connector behind the seat belt for it to work. The glass window defroster will activate when you turn on your mirror defroster. Do not turn on the defroster when the top is down to avoid build up of heat in the top boot. Detailed instructions with pictures are provided in the included installation guide.

The Convertible Top comes ready to install. No sewing required.

5 of 5 Nice Top February 17, 2023
Reviewer: J T from Longboat Key, FL United States  
After much deliberation, I decided on this top and I am pleased with my decision.  Top arrived in 1 week with free shipping.  I had the top professionally installed, and the installer was impressed with the quality.  I am too.

5 of 5 Porsche Boxster top March 1, 2022
Reviewer: Ken Charbonneau from Sidney, BC Canada  
I gave the top 5 stars with a small hesitation.the top fit perfect. I installed it my self over 2 days.
The problem I had was the quality of the sewing on the sleeves that fit over the slid on brackets. The stitching was terrible on both sides and I had to hand stitch the openings. A small issue but took time.
Fix the quality of the stitching and top gets a 10.

3 of 5 Order 53625 January 5, 2021
Reviewer: Joel Boehme from Seminole , FL United States  
Had a hard time getting this to fit. Finally unscrewed the two cables to get It to latch. Will it stretch out, so I can attach the cables, or do I need to buy another one and have some one install it?
