Hi guys. Just got my brand new 06 Boxster S (silver/black/black) this Saturday. I had a blast driving it for 7 hours on Sunday, but I caught a nasty cold due to the intense draft I suffered. So the plan is to get the windstop, but my dealer wants ~$700 for the job. That sounded a tad excessive, since the original part is just ~$400. Is it really a 3-4 hour job to install (justifying the $300 labour charge)?

BTW, awesome board. I've read a ton of great threads going all the way back to mid last year. So much good information here.
