Hey Gang,

Picked up my 3.6 cab on Saturday. When I got home I popped open the front trunk and found a windscreen in its fabric bag. Hmmmn. Not on the window sticker, as I didn't order it. I seem to recall it was an option though for about $115 or so. Any idea if it's now standard? If not, I want to send the dealer a big "thank you". Maybe next time they'll throw in a TT. :-)

thanks, Jerry

Mine was included in my car as well. I believe it is standard equipment on the cab

MINE WAS LISTED ON OPTION LIST EITHER

CUL Windstop W/"Porsche"Lettering was what you saw in the order guide.

The windstop is now standard on the 997 cabs. It was an option on the 996's.

mine came with the cab as standard also.

Be careful with the windstop. You cannot put the seat all the way back and/or tilt it without it hitting the windstop frame. Damage to both can result. PCNA is aware of this design blunder, but is not doing anything about it.

I probably will never use it. Going to find a place for it in the garage.

Standard in the UK.It lives in the loft above my garage because it takes up too much room in the boot and I think it is fairly useless

Standard. Makes a huge difference. Love it. Stays in place all the time.

Bought as option on my 996. Love it on the highway or if a little chilly out. Really helps block the wind. Had it up at 115mph and no problems with it.

It is standard, and as Mjones mentioned the Windscreen with the PORSCHE (white) is the option. I think it makes a huge difference with buffeting, and with high speeds on highways, with windows up the cabin is very quiet.

Porsche made the windscreen standard on the 997 cars,--and made the hardtop an extra cost option. The 996 cars had the hardtops standard, with the windscreens optional. (Guess which costs more!)

I had a windscreen (optional) with my 996. Loved it! I have it (standard) with my 997. For me the windscreen is a must have. In the winter, the windscreen allows me to be topless with outside temperatures in the 40s! It helps create an enclosed environment that keeps the cabin quieter and warmer in the winter (with heat on). Got to have it!

Yes, be careful with the seats, but I don't think it's a design blunder. If you put the windscreen farther back, it would not achieve its purpose. THAT would be a design blunder.

I definitely agree with the others: The screen is absolutely awesome and I have it installed all the time. All windows down and still no messy hair. And despite being 6'4'' tall and - thus - in need of seat space, I'm doing just fine.
