Just came across this thread and wanted to know if you ever had a new windshield installed in your 993. I am in Walnut Creek and need a new windshield in my 993. Naturally, I'd like to have this done by someone who has experience with our beloved cars.
Any contact info you can pass along for someone that does great work in the Walnut Creek area would be GREAT! Thanks!

Yes I did get a new windshield installed at the end of October and so far I am happy with it, although I have not driven the car very much in the last 3 weeks. It was OEM glass ordered by the installer through the Porsche dealer and installed by Action Glass. Job seems very nicely done - no squeaks so far. They did not use the "rope kit", FWIW. Off the top of my head I don't recall their phone number (it was local to the 925 area code) and a yahoo yellowpages search only shows an 800#. I'll look up the # tonight and update the post.
Thanks guys! I'll give them a call in the morning!

Just to follow up on this......
Action put a windshield in my '96 last week and I am a happy customer. Ordered and got everything needed to install the glass in 2 days. Drove me to the BART station after dropping the car off. Not a mark, scratch, nick or scuff in the paint anywhere! No squeaks, rattles or leaks! VERY pleased and I say thank you to the forum for the suggesting them.

I'm in the same boat. The nasty weather started a creak on a previous chip. In this thread I found
Jim at Jim's Auto Glass 925-381-7204
Action Auto Glass in Concord/Walnut Creek 925-687-9000
I'll call my insurance first to see the process they have (CSAA).
