Very satisfied with how prompt the top was shipped and hired an installer who was satisfied with how it installed. Looks great on the Boxster
Take your time and the project is possible.
It took us 4 man-hours to remove the old top and about 8 man hours to install the new top. Very happy with the results.
Note that when they talk about the glass window being smaller, it is about the same width but the height is notably less. I drove 60 miles to Minneapolis yesterday, noted that visibility was less but still just fine.
I had zero wind noise from the new top.
Really very satisfied!
Based on reviews from the 986 Forum and others, I took the plunge and purchased a new top with the intent of installing it myself. I am very pleased with the quality of the product. The fit and finish is excellent. I would encourage Autotops to provide pictures with higher resolution, and more of them in the instructions. While Autotops makes it clear that they advise having a professional install the top, many installers will not install what they don’t sell. For many enthusiasts, being able to save money is a necessity, and DYI-ers, like myself, are going to take the plunge. As a top costs over $500, why not invest in quality photos, providing your customers an even better experience? Thanks. Jim
After ordering, the top was shipped quickly and waspackaged well. Installtion was done quickly and easily. The only thing I would have been nice to have a little more detail on was where the phillips head screws on the side rails are located, as one one each side is hidden under a rubber seal. Other than that everything looks great. The top fits great and is a huge improvment over the one that was on the car. I will recomend this top to anyone that askes.
Have not installed yet but was very pleased with the speed of processing and delivery.
