Passenger Rollbar Windscreen

My passenger rollbar windscreen departed my car at 85mph on a four lane highway and was run over by two 18 wheelers (I think they actually swerved to hit it :troll: )

Hoping someone has a spare they're willing to part with for a fare price. Please e-mail me at daveandstacy@yahoo.com.

Thanks,

Dave

Both of mine did the same thing. Fortunately my wife has quick reflexes. Like I said in another post, I like them out better.

With as many people that have posted that theirs blew out, Porsche should lower the price of replacements.

Hahahahaha! I didn't actually say that out loud, did I ??

My son likes to play with the power seats, and he has set the passenger seat back until it contacts the screen (bad idea Porsche) and pushed it out dropping it into back shelf. It was probably loose and the cross winds were strong and *POP* there it went. :ah:

Mine (03 S) came with one but not the other (was in the trunk with other spares) and I didn't like the look of them anyway.

Let me dig it out in the next day or two and figure out which one it is. If it's the one you need, I won't likely use it or replace the missing one, so I'm sure we can work out something reasonable.

Cheers,
Tad

A black zip tie is pretty inconspicuous. I have one on each of mine.

I nearly lost the lexan portion the other day when I (apparently) didn't click it in all the way after cleaning it - not sure how to prevent that.
