Ordered a pair yesterday from Soul Performance - but they seem to be on Backorder.
No email update from Soul though - John G. was kind enough to respond to my text.

I installed these last summer. Makes driving with top and windows down much more enjoyable.

Has anyone installed and then removed these? Do they de-install without leaving any permanent marks or damage to the car?

They use high grade 3M double sided tape for application. On removal you may get some residue left on, but goo gone or something similar that won't damage the OE window triangle (don''t scrub hard) works just fine.

People are also using these viper blades. Cut them up and slid lip over the plastic rectangle cap. Easy to take on and off. Maybe a little extra tape for track days.

I agree, which is why I installed the AWEs tonight and they look better and are half the price, and from what others have said they work just about as well.

OK. You can't get Blackmill in the UK but you can order from Fabspeed in the US for £113.81 plus £76.11 shipping making £189.92. You can get the AWE ones from the US Amazon site for $103.37 plus $28.88 shipping and import duty making $132 .26 or about £102. However you can also get the AWE from AWE Tuning Europe in Manchester UK for £90.21 plus £7.99 shipping making £98.20. They fit 981's and 991's, it doesn't say 718's!

The AWE ones look much better to me, not least because you don't just stick them over. You actually replace the existing triangles. Bit more hassle to fit though. The instructions says on some models you have to remove the door panels and air bag covers but some models you can just prise off something inside and screw the replacement outside one from existing holes inside before popping the existing inner back. Anyone in the US know what the story is on the 991.2 Cabriolet S? I'm not taking the door to bits but I will order from AWE Europe if it's simple.

Peter, If I recall, its just the first and second year 991.1 that need door panel removal. Later are just popping off the trim piece.

Yep. I just checked my car and easily prised the inner cover off. The screw is there holding outer triangle on. Much easier to replace this than use messy sticky tape to cover up with the new one. Thanks for the help, guess I could have just checked before asking.

Just ordered mine from AWE Europe in Manchester. Interesting that $79 in US, £90 or about $117 in UK. Blame the EU (not). From the US, the delivery is high and there's $20 import duty on top. Guess we could have import duty here in Europe soon!!!

Me too Bob. Took me a little while to do the install but they are great and work well. Got mine from Sun Coast Parts for $82.55 along with a set of clear side markers for $120.00.
