Best option to find the answer might be to look up the part numbers for the windsheild for both models. If they match - you ought to be good to go.

You'll likely need a new outer gasket. Better to have it installed so no leaks.

As usual Tim is right on the money, I would never attempt a windshield install....too much to go wrong

The answer to the original question
Quote:
"Will a 2001 boxster windshield fit a 2003?"
is "Yes, Maybe not, and What do you mean by 'fit'."

From the 986 Parts Catalog:

This is through 2004. The numbers in the remarks column such as: "01-" or "-00" show the years up to, or years beyond which a part is applicable. Items such as antennae, or sensors are often the change. The shape and basic form of the glass remains the same. A '986-541-901-02' fits '97 through '04. Some specifications are exclusive to '03 and beyond.
