Wanted: drivers side windstop mesh screen - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Bdel · 09-28-2005, 11:23 AM

I just bought a 2003 Boxster and the screen that fits within the roll bar on the drivers side is missing. Does anyone have that part? I dont want to buy a complete set and plastic windscreen from the dealer. Are the passenger side and drivers side mesh screen the same?

Thanks in advance

Hi Bdel, have you checked E-Bay?

Bdel, they are not identical, but a mirror image left and right. I bet you can't buy just one from the dealer. They come in sets. I do see the right or the left only on Ebay from time to time though.

What a pity you only need one. Grrr.

Did you check here : Boxster Fun Pack ?

Actually, I have one. My passenger side flew off, so I took the other one out. I'll sell it to you if you want. Anybody know how much they're actually worth separately?

I have one you can buy if you don't find one elsewhere.

My dealer was willing to sell me only one side ( R or L) in fact when I went into parts dept they had only 1 side (R) in stock. I think the reg dlr price was $167 per side and parts guy gave me a discounted price of $127.

Just a comment on the whole pricing of these things used and new:

Friggin' ridiculous!

I looked into manufacturing them in China to sell on Ebay to fund my 3.4 engine swap. Injection molds are $10k plus $18 a set for a minimum order of 1000 sets. Wife nixed the whole idea saying I'd never get my 28k out of it as there's not a large enough market for rollbar inserts.

Anyone here have an injection mold company?

Bdel,
As the guys have said, they're handed - Left n Right.
I bought a drivers panel (UK right side) for £25.00 from a breakers yard.
