Cab windscreen case and question
I just purchased a windscreen form my 2000 cab from eBay, but I would like a carrying case. Does anyone have one they would be interested in selling or know where I could get one?
I tried a dealer, but they had "something" for $176, which I can only assume included the spare tire case as well, who knows, but I paid less than that for the windscreen...
Also, I am not real clear on this, but does anyone know why the windscreen or wind deflector is the same on a C2 or C4, but the prices are different? Is it the carrying case?
Thanks!

Ah, now I know what the bottons on the carrying case are for! I got a used windscreen for my C2 - from a C4; interesting!
You'll love the windscreen as soon as it's a little warmer outside DFC!

I am looking forward to trying it out. After searching previous threads, most seem to prefer the windscreen, and maybe it will extend my top down season a bit! Hopefully I can take some long trips with the top down and not feel wiped out when I reach my destination.

I don't have a Cab but I recall reading that you have to be careful not to put the seat too far back with the windscreed installed. There were a couple of guys on the 997 forum that scratched the seat back on the windscreen and I think one guy actually broke the windscreen. If you are not really tall, this may not be an issue. Just a "heads up" to keep this from happening to you.

When I first bought my car, I planned to get a windscreen, but my seat back was in line with the windscreen sockets (I am around 6"1") so I decided it wouldn't work and gave up. After some seat time, my seat position has changed and no longer blocks the windscreen sockets - but I will have to be careful since it is close.

I also bought my windscreen used locally and really love it with the top down. The wind noise is greatly reduced when all windows are up (including the rears) and windscreen attached. Beside the front seat warning from Tim, I would also caution on the 2 retracting pins that fit into the side of the rear seat area as they can easily scratch or dent the delicate leather. My leather in that area was already all sratched-up and dented by these windscreen's pins, but did not originally know what did it, now I know... Be careful about hat if your car never see this windscreen before. Cheers.

Thanks, more good advice. I will make sure that I take my time when I install/remove the windscreen.

I don't have pics but in a C2 the cover has two sections, on to hold the windscreen and another that fits over the spare tire with elastic to hold it on. In a C4 the spare is hidden under a panle on the bottom of the trunk so the cover has snaps that snap it onto the top of the 4 wheel drive comparment.
