Default Does the windshield fits in the trunk?

I can't measure it currently. Will the new windshield for 944 fit in the trunk of 944?

I like where you're going with this. Best question of the day. With the seats folded down I think it stands a good chance of fitting. The width is what I would be concerned about as far as fitment is concerned. The length I think would be close as well.

I know you can fit a 4'x8' 3/4inch sheet of MDF cut into two 4'x4' pieces.

The sheets were touching sides of the trunk area and the back of my driver's seat. The car is 5.69ft wide and while the windshield isn't as wide as the track width, its probably within a few inches. That means you'll have to turn it and you'll definitely hit the front seats. I think you can probably get it to fit, but it'll be tight and you'll have to move the seats forward.

I put a 50" Flat screen TV in the back of mine with the seat folded last week.

Brand new in the box, so add a bit for that.

Before I went, I measured the 'length' of the back. I had 52" from the back of the front seats (adjusted somewhat 'middleish') to the back of the hatch area.

A 928 or 944 hatch glass will fit in the 944 trunk so a windshield should no problem.

So will a 944 hood, sideways, curve towards gas filler side, except for the late models that have rear seat belts.
