wind stop

stupid question dont believe my car came with them, def not the mesh based on my research.

question, the center piece. which part are the latches on, the head rest bar or the insert itself? i have the plastic pieces on each side but no latches, so if they are on the insert i can go aftermarket. if not then my pieces are broken.

ive searched and pic are impossible and info is not straight forward for what i need answered.

thanks
steve

Do you have a 986 or 987?
The latches are on the plastic insert on my 987.

I had same issue, got the windscreen but no latches
If you have 986 then you need locking levers, they go into the bar between seats

You can get them from your dealership for 10$ each.
Or you can order them online. I got mine from pelican parts for 4.50 each

sorry about the info.

2001 boxster base

i have plastic pieces on the inner side of the head rest roll bars but no latch. just an area to input a nipple part.

so it seems the latch is broken from these pieces? hmm means no aftermarket wind deflector without the oem hardware.

The nipple part is exactly where levers are installed. Wind deflector will be locked with those levers

A picture would help a lot!
