They do - at a certain weight level, but the kit adds a key to disable and the latch hooks in the front seat which make it easier to secure the car seat as well as being able to completely disable the airbag regardless of current weight in the seat.

I'm here in NC and drive my 986 2000 pretty much every day, 10mi each way to work. My top comes down at 55-58+ (what can I say, I live on the edge). I too had a crack in my window and is hoping to get 2003 top as well. If by the end of this summer I can't find a 2003 top, I'm going with the glass window.

Heck if the sun is out and above 45 I just put a little warm air on the back window (it softens really fast) drop the top, ski hat on, turn the heat up and drive like hell! Of course I am a little nuts, I keep my house at 60

For you 2006 and newer Boxster owners, that are still dating, your car will tell you if your date weights more than 90 pounds!

If the "airbag disabled" light turns on, she weight about 90 pounds. If the light goes off, she's over 90 pounds.

okay so 90 pound it is?.. cool, then I'm not scare that my 14month little guy weight more than 90 pound even with the seat

Hmm...the light in my 06 turns on when I put my work gym bag in the seat, which weighs 25 pounds tops.

That's correct. 25 pounds is less than 90 pounds. The bag weights enough for the system to know that something is in the passanger seat, but not big (heavy) enough to activate the air bag.

Of course, I didn't think it thru before I posted!
