I've searched and searched, without getting any solid answers
I have a 968 which I'm removing the roof skin, I know that the 968 has the same windshield as the late 944s.

I have a local guy that will sell me a 924s roof, Is there any way I can make this work? Does anyone have a pic of the windshield area on an early 944 or any 924 with out a windshield installed?

A lot of people say it won't work, but then how do early 944 guys put late flush windshields in their car?

Mine came off a 1983 944.

Nice, missed this thread somehow and didn't come up in a search bc of your title. Did you have to do anything different to get the windshield to fit ok? I hear both sides, but yet it seems neither have actually done it and just like to think they know what they are talking about....

How are you removing the roof skin? I used a few (ok, many) spot weld cutters. It took a few weekends to accomplish. I had a local fabricator put everything back together.

I've removed them in the past with drill bits or spot cutters. I wasn't going to remove this one until I knew I had a skin that would work, as I'm not the convertible type If they didn't give u a phone call starting with a long sigh, then I'd assume even tho it was an early 944 it will work just fine?

When I separated the solid roof from the donor and the sunroof surround, the solid roof fell into place. It was an exact fit. The donor was an early 944. I would assume that the 924S would fit as well.

I paid $200 for my donor roof.

That makes me feel great! Yea I know all 924s are the same as the early 944s. Thanks for the info, I got a guy that is waiting to cut it off as we speak as soon as I found out. 175 and he's about 20 min from me, doesn't get much better than that. Thanks again
