I haven't taken off the hard top yet - would it be possible to have a soft top in the car already, or is it possible to retrofit a soft top if I wanted to in the car?

Thanks, sorry if this is a dumb question.

 

When you remove the hard top the soft top should be folded and tucked in the car, just push the roof up button and the soft top will fold up.

 

To clarify on the previous post -- unless it was a custom job (cutting the roof off a coupe), it will have a stowed soft top already. Just remove the hard top and raise the soft top.

 

Perfect thanks

 

Remove the hardtop, pull the handbrake and press the top switch. Hopefully there isn't any damage to the softtop. I've seen a couple cab's with hardtops and when I asked to the softtop, there were tears or the rear plastic window was torn.

 

Just took hard top off for first time. Soft top comes up good but it is definitely old and needs to be repaired, or replaced.

What will this cost me at Porsche dealer...can indy shops do this also?

 

I think I was quoted 2.5k? or so a couple years back from the dealer.
I'd definatly go aftermarket and if yours is plastic, I'd upgrade to glass. Call local shops. I've found many shops that would do em for 600-1500 depending on if you're replacing the whole top or just the rear plastic/glass.

 

I had an independent shop install a new aftermarket top GAHH or something.

I opted for the rear glass window. I think the final bill, which included a new headliner and a two year warranty was about $2100.

 

I got my plastic window replaced with a black tint plastic window for around $350 with a nice double stitch.

 

My plastic rear window started to rip/break at the seam, where its stitched and glued in. Three different shops said I had to replace the top, and if they stitched in a new one, they wouldn't give me a warranty on the work.

Please excuse me as I remove the fishing hook from the inside of my cheek.

 

I just had a new GAHH top installed. It was $1850 or something like that. It was the plastic window. That was without a new headliner. The top is very nice.

 

I'm still getting over the fact that you bought a cabriolet without even knowing if it had a top. That might have been an excellent thing to check out pre-purchase.

 

Yeah, but just think of all the cool surprises that he's going to have as he finds new features on his car!
Adammich, you're going to have a hell of a Christmas when we tell you about the spoiler button.
