So, basically my top is around 8 years old, I have a AP1 MY00. I understand that it is aged. But, 2nite with it being kinda chilly I was going to enjoy the long awaited cold weather and ride around with my top dropped. I dropped it and heard a big CRACK sound. Put it back up and my plastic rear window was broken open from side to side!!!!!!!!! Like I said I understand my top is 8 years old. But, I should'nt be limited by season to put my top down. Obviously I want to upgrade to a glass top now but I have no freakin money!!!!!!!!!! I hate money right now. So yeah, this thread is nothing more than me venting so just don't mind me.

 

shit happened to me last winter as well..i threw on some clear duct tape for the time being to keep rain and anything else out and its held up for 8 months or so now, no stopping me!

 

same thing happened to me this past easter morning. i had clear packing tape on it for months, looked like complete shit til i got my new one on in august. best money i ever spent. we got a guy down here, YELLOWJACKET, who can do it for you a lot cheaper than a shop if/when you decide to buy a new top

 

well right now for overnight i have BROWN packing tape on it haha. I won't be driving with this obviously, luckly I don't work till 4pm 2marro so gives me time to run out and get some clear packing tape. I'll get in touch with YELLOWJACKET when I get money. Also, would he be able to help me if I got a glass top and needed the defrost wired in as well?

 

Sorry that sucks . Just for everyone else in the winter I always put it a little more then half way down and stop get out and make sure it is folding without any creases in it. I just give it a few lite taps and then put it the rest of the way down.

That sucks for sure. Sorry to hear. These sort of things never come at the right moment, money-wise. I've always heard about this happening...at least you got 8 good years out of it.

 

This is very true lol

 

Yeah it happens to 986 Boxsters alot too.

 

this happens to every one dude it sucks happened to me so i did the next best thing i was going to go with glass then i thought about it what for so they can tear it up to steal my seat soo i took it to the next step save money and bought a hard top dude the best invesment i have ever made on the s2k .......

 

Thats what I'm considering! Like just replacing the rear window. And saving for one. How much did you get yours for?
