The following will be in the Sept issue of PP, but you can get a head start here on the forum.

[/b] SmartTop[/b] As promised, I now have the information on a group purchase on this item. Last month I mentioned that I had been contacted by the manufacturers of this popular device with regard to a group buy scheme. The idea is that we get a minimum of 10 people who commit to buy one of these items.
The cost will then be 169 Euros instead of the regular 199 Euros.
I will pass on the list to the distributors (Wilhelmy-IT Inc), and they will provide a promotion code for use by those people.
Ordering will then be done with that code on their website, and delivery will be direct to the individual customer. For those who don't know what it is, the SmartTop control unit directly replaces your roof relay, and converts your "roof open/close" operation to a single press on the operating button, even on the move!
This is ideal for those with Glass rear windows (who don't have to get out and manually put the fold in the plastic window to prevent stress-cracks).
Of course it is also usable in the "up" phase by plastic window cars. I would caution those with plastic rear windows not to use it to fold (open) the roof "" you WILL be looking to replace the window due to stress cracks if you do not do the usual "chop" half way down. I should also point out this is an aftermarket accessory, and not a Porsche approved item. The club does not offer any guarantees, and it is up to you as an individual to decide to fit the item with the knowledge that the warranty could be affected. Please email me at boxster@porscheclubgb.com if you want to take advantage of the offer. (Even if replying to this thread!)
