Friendly suggestion- just unscrew the coat hooks behind the seat headrests to paint them to match the car's exterior, and reinstall them. Gives a nice look, and you never again have to worry about screen theft or loss. Just run without the mesh screens altogether. I ran with and without the mesh screens, and as long as i keep the center plexiglass screen in place, can't tell difference in wind disturbance...

Thanks Boxster21, PM sent...Boxstaboy, I have two black zip ties ready to go to secure the windscreens as soon as I get the one replaced. I have been contemplating doing what you said and paint the coat hooks and go as is but I like the finished look of the inserts. They sort of hide the roll bar so it's not so prominent. Just my taste I guess. :dance:
Thanks for the help in my time of need guys.

Got the windscreen replaced for the whopping cost of $15 thanks in part to finding a Porsche salvage yard that's very reasonable on it's parts. I also replaced the Wind Blocker ( <------ advertisement on the right), they let me purchase only the one I needed...Thanks Jay!!
For the hassle I went through replacing the OEM windscreen...I highly recommend everyone out there to run a black zip tie through one of the holes at the bottom of the insert and around the bottom roll bar to secure them. New ones are not cheap to replace.
BTW, Boxster S21...I'd suggest the next time you offer to sell a forum member something, stick to your word because it just makes you look like a punk ass when you don't.

I always make sure whenever the passenger adjust the seat it doesn't rub against the windscreen.
Most of the times if girls get in they want to move the seat forward since I have it all the way back.
I always tell them not to yank the door handle until the window rolls down.
Come on guys this is not that hard.

Just want you guys to understand why my roll bar insert blew out;
Normal everyday conditions with the OEM roll bar inserts is a substandard attempt to cut the wind that gets drawn in because of the low pressure created while driving. With Jay's "Wind Blockers" installed the airflow is cut down significantly. The only drawback to the OEM pinch fit insert is catching a radical crosswind and having your insert blown out.
Jay is now taking fellow 986Forum members suggestions and is placing a hole at the bottom and including black zip ties to secure both the inserts and Wind Blockers.
Again, this info is to prevent what happened to me, happen to you, my fellow Forum members.

Hu? Mike, you do know this Thread is about the plastic OEM windscreens behind the seats right? What does the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) have to do with that?

I also lost my passenger side windscreen at about 80mph. Where did you get your replacement?
Thanks

Looks like your friend Mike is just another spambot. I thought the mods were filtering for that now; i.e. link in sig = instant death for posting
