Windscreen Blowout

Well that was your mistake, right there.

I am personally in favor of non-permanent solutions. The windscreens really suck to have in while you have the top up, or a hardtop on.

I zip-tie the mesh inserts, and have been thinking about drilling a small hole in the windscreen, and zip-tying it to keep it as-well. This way they can be removed when you put a hardtop on. Having them out greatly greatly increases your rearward vision, and on the average day I leave the mesh inserts out because they don't do anything and block your vision.
Just my opinion!

I find the same to be true. Before picking up my Boxster, I was used to driving my father's 996, which provides a very open feel due to the rear seats and the lack of roll hoops. Being in the Boxster with the mesh installed felt less "airy", and also made it more difficult to see. With just the centre plexi windscreen in place, there isn't much turbulence in the cabin, and it feels more open.

I like your shoe lace idea or just take the shoe lace and run the zip tie through the exterior tubing of the lace. That way there secured very well and won't scratch anything.
