Boxster rear windscreen


Recommended Posts

Mine rattled too and I couldn't see why until I noted that the plastic 'spring' inside the bracket was broken. I replaced the brackets to fix the problem, but after driving for a while without the screen in, I decided there wasn't a lot of difference with or without it. A little more buffeting at the back of your head, but so what it's a convertible and convertibles are breezy.

that is what I have wondered. I think I will wait till spring to decide whether to do this.

Put a little felt tape or some other cloth around the plastic pieces that the brackets hold on to and it will stop the rattle. I had the same issue.

I do notice a difference between having the windscreen in or out. I own one so I use it. If I didn't own one I wouldn't pay the $500 Porsche charges to get it. If you found one for less I think it's worth putting in. As far as I can tell if you're comfortable aligning and tapping holes into the roll hoops it's not hard to install.
