I have a 1997 and the center windstop does not rattle. I have had to replace broken clips over the years.
I met 2 new local Boxster owners in the past 2 weeks. Both had purchased a 2001 and said it rattled. I inspected the clips. There are 2 clips on the clear plastic part, and 2 mating clips on the roll bars. Both cars had broken roll bar clips. On one car it was the left side and on the other car it was the right side. Years ago I saw one car were both sides were broken. I have seen cars where the owners used foam, but when I took the windstop out I showed the owner a broken clip.
If you do not know what to look for it is hard to tell if a clip is broken. You need an unbroken clip to compare.
So I would first check to see if one or more clips are broken before using foam.
