4) Seatbelt fine for me. No complaints
5) My horn honks once when the alarm is armed. This is very odd, you know. Before I installed my nav system it didn't. Now the lights flash twice and the horn beeps. I'm glad it does.
6) BIG COMPLAINT!!! You guys know my window split. Well the glue that's been holding the crack together melts in the heat so I broke down and have an appointment next week to have a new top put on with a glass window.
7) Yes, big blind spots, but I drive with my top down 90% of the time. No complaints
8) *knocks on wood furiously regarding no RMS*
As for the other complaints I've read I haven't experienced any. My windstop is tight, I'm 5'7" and I fit well in the car. I actually have nary a complaint about my Boxster. I love that car and it's perfect.

Chills, the S models have a knob for controlling the speed of the intermittent wipers. (wish someone would come up with a haxxor for it!)
What brand top are you going with? If you can, please let me know... I'll be looking to do this in the next two or three months (if OT provides for it). Not sure if I'll do the top install myself, or defer to a pro.

I see, I didn't know the base models didn't have the knob.
I'm not exactly sure which top I'm getting. There's a shop here in Chi-land called Riggs Brothers and they are putting it on. They've got a good warranty for their work and they're close to me. $1500 is what it'll set me back.
I thought about doing it myself, but I think it's a bit over my head.

FrayAdjacent,
I recently added the knob for variable wiper speed. It is a very easy mod and fills an unused hole in the dash. I bought the part from eBay. If you have a problem finding the part I will help you find one.

Hi ddb, I would be interested in the variable wiper speed Knob if it would function on my 1997, searched on eBay and couldn't find anything, I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks
Franco

That would be pretty slick. Since the Box is my daily driver, I'd love to be able to set the speed of the intermittent wipers. If it's as easy as plugging in the switch there... SWEET!
I'll look on Ebay, but it looks like Franco already did and didn't find anything.
CHILLS,
If you can, find out, it's probably either Robbins or GAHH. Get pics and let me know how it turns out!

This was the main reason I started this post, I wanted to see if any of these issues were resolved by the owners on their own. Now can someone tell us where we can get the variable wipper speed knob? I would want to switch mine for the upgrade. Anyplace else other than e-bay? Will the Boxster S knob that seems to have this device work on a base model?
