I need, I need, I need that trim piece ... I knew it, there was something different with the Boxster S windshields...a trim piece.

Now I really need the part number, too, for being an old school chrome trim fanatic

In PET, the rubber is called sealing frame and the trim is called trim frame. M008 is the code for S.

World Champion, are you really willing to remove the windshield and reinstall to get some bling?

OF COURSE! I would consider that! As a PORSCHE nut, there ain't no stopping me, once I got an idea stuck in my head. Will at least get that trim to be prepared, when a replacement is needed.
But no DIY, of course! I had some windshield replacements on other cars...those car glass service professionals are good, fast as lightning and inexpensive.

Need ma Bling

Definitely not DYI. I watched a Pro take over an hour an a half to do mine and it's certainly a practiced skill.
