Ugh, you guys are really being positive. I'm all kinds of pissed off, though, because the rear window on the new top is noticeably smaller (and, I have to say, cheaper looking) than the one on the old top. It's not an OEM part, which is something they didn't tell me before I went to pick it up.
There's also some cosmetic damage on the new frame that they installed, which they'll have to replace. |

Oh no! Is the cabin smaller inside now? I thought it was just camera angle.

Hm, rumatt, good question. I didn’t actually get in the car. Left it there and am now in discussions with insurance company. It’s a mess.

Oh that sucks, I didn't notice the window. Sorry Josh, that would make me very unhappy too.

It looks ok but how can they use a non-OEM or OEM-equivalent (i.e. same supplier as Porsche just not branded) part?

I'd be pretty pissed about non-OE parts being using without disclosure. And I'd be checking my policy and work authorizations to make sure I'm not pissed at myself for letting it happen.

If you can figure out how to force your insurance co. to use OE parts please share.
