Vin number question
 

Okay, here is a new one. I'm not sure even why I spotted this but I was looking at the VIN number of my 03 Boxster through the windshield on the dash and then looked at the etched VIN on the windshield itself just above the dash VIN and saw this

Dash VIN WP0CB29883U662773
Windshield VIN WP0CB29883U662273

the Dash Vin 662773 is correct but kind of odd the windshield is different by one number.:confused:

Paul,

Your car must be a Chinese knock-off.

Whoever etched your windshield made a mistake.

Or a Finnish knock off

Well I figured that but the etched windshield looks factory done and I figured with German standards they would never make a mistake like that. Then again it was built in Finland so maybe the Fins aren't so conscientious

Vin position numbers 12-17 are the sequential production numbers for specific vehicle. Maybe windshield was replaced and the replacement winshield was etched for id. purpose .

Good point. Who knows, maybe it was damaged during installtion and this one replaced the original.

Windshields are not etched at factory.

Aside from the VIN, where is the option code information located? Is there a sticker somewhere?

Yes.
Under front trunk lid.

Bottom side of front trunk lid.

Be hopeful that whomever owns Boxster VIN WP0CB29883U662273 doesn't show up at your house and ask for his windshield back!! :D
