I have just had my windscreen replaced at a local OPC and as far as I can tell the top tint is not as wide as the original.

I have checked the invoice for the part number (986 541 901 03) which I believe to be the correct part number for a 04 Boxster S (without the diversity aerials or the rain sensor).

I have looked at the window makers stamp and it is Sekurit - Saint Gobain as it should be for Porsche glass (also has the small triangle refered to in a previous post which indicates so I understand that it is Porsche approved).

I have compared the tint to my wifes 911 and another 986 which I saw in a parking lot and the top tint is much wider.

Has there been a change in specifications for this area or are there two different widths for this tint???

No clue. All I can tell you is my windshield #2 did not have the green band. Either the body shop or my local dealer screwed up and got euro glass when #2 was put in. I liked it without the band. But I am now on windshield #3 and it has the band.

Pic is #2 that did not have the band.

The windshield was: $503 the trim frame was $56 and the fitting was $250.

I am still not sure if I am going to insist on them trying to find a window with the deep band.

If I get time today I will post a pic or two.
