Anyone DIY Boxster soft top replacement?

I've read Wayne's article in 101 Projects, as well as some others. I've got a 2000 Boxster 2.7, the top is in fine condition but the rear plastic window is starting to crack in 2 small places (1/4" long). As I see it, my options are:

- have someone sew in a new window - $575-800
- have the top replaced - $1100
- DIY top replacement - ~$400 and a weekend of my time
- figure out a way to "glue" the 2 cracks and wait another year - $5

Has anyone ever done their own top? I know it's like a 16 hour job, but I'm up to the challenge if I know it can be done.

Other than that, general advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mark
