I do notice a bit of a difference on my high screen. No any quieter but I think there is less turbulence inside the cabin. Mine is installed in my 981 as my 982 is on order so I don't know if there is any aero differences between the two generations. The screen part number is the same but the airflow in and around the car is probably slightly different.

Finally got around to taking a picture.
This is the “high” version installed in my BGTS.
Very pleased with both the esthetics and performance and can highly recommend it!

Looks great! Interestingly, when comparing your high version to my short version, it appears the high version is only about 1" higher. I think it would be interesting to swap in a high version immediately after driving with the low to see if there is really any discernable difference. Also, I can finally report back to anyone reading this thread while researching, that I driven a few times at nighttime, and reflections of the dash lights and oncoming car lights are definitely noticeable in the glass, but even so, I did not find it distracting. Of course YMMV....

Does anyone have pictures of their car with the glass wind screen from a distance? All the pics here are close up. I'd like to see a whole car pic with the glass screen in place (high or low). I'm leaning towards low version for better aesthetics.

High version.

IMO, less obvious than OEM black mesh.

Thanks all
I ordered one this week... (low version). Uwe was excellent to work with. The order shipped very swiftly.

This is very intriguing. I’d get one just for the improved rearward visibility.

My original 987.2 Boxster had an optional clear clear glass wind blocker. Really helped with noise and turbulence.


I know this was dismissed before but I suspect there is more drag with this solid wind blocker as there is for the current OEM mesh.

Porsche is all about form following function....but also profit, so who knows!

I noticed that suncoasr has something similar but for 1/3 the price.

Is the Windschott version 3 times better?

The Windschott is tempered glass, the Suncoast unit is likely plexiglass...

Any owners of this have more thoughts on the low vs the high version?

Aesthetics, noise, relative airflow drag?

I'm definitely interested in getting one.

I have high version. I love the aesthetics, looks a lot cleaner, almost invisible in rear view mirror. Wind noise is subjectively better. No difference in drag imo. Aesthetically speaking I think the low version looks a tiny bit better, but I went for the higher version on recommendation of the vender Windschott for less wind noise and reduction in cabin wind/noise at highway speeds with the top down.
