Cabrio Window Question

Guys,

I was wondering anyone replaced thier rear plastic window on their 996 cab? I also noticed a lot of people having problem to replacing the complete top or just the window.Thanks in advance.

My '99 (now sold and replaced my an '04 C4S Cab) had a problem. 5 months out of warranty, a 1" section of the plastic window came apart from the canvas. DSM would not cover a penny of it.

Bought the window, had it put in by dealer. Window is about $700, labor is more. Problem is, half the time the zipper breaks. Mine did. When it does, it REQUIRES a new canvas top.

Whole thing was about $3500+ for labor, window and top.

I'd look into some aftermarket places to try this in your area before I'd spend the money on a high-price-for-labor Porsche dealer.

Best of luck.
