$456 from Safelite Auto-Glass, total cost including tax and installation. I was able to use my existing molding, it is in great shape. The standard molding they use does not have the gloss finish as Porsche factory. So if you want to maintain that gloss finish on your molding use your existing or order a new one from Porsche. Safelite can order from Porsche for additional cost (I don't know what that is).

I had mine replaced by Safelite a few months ago. I didn't order the molding, I just let them use the generic one. It actually doesn't look bad at all.

Btw, I was out of pocket $50. Mine was scratched to the point of being dangerous. My insurance company paid the rest.

I needed the new windshield so I can enjoy the scenery in my back yard. I took a drive on Foxen Canyon Road, with the top down, 72 degrees, no wind, dust free, tour. It was just an awesome day for a Boxster drive.

Drove mine ? -20 - 30 C here for a week. In a non heated garage ,always starts. Even the day my wife`s Fit didn`t. With the hartop it`s nice and warm. These cars are a blast to drive in snow.
