That really sucks!

Maybe you can convince the insurance company to install one with a glass window....

May I ask the area where this occurred? Would be nice to know where the verboten areas are for the 986.

Bast@rds! That's really sickening. Good luck on the repairs. Hopefully, their karma is adjusted appropriately.

Damn, they could have had mine if they'd just asked.

Do you want my roll bar inserts? I took them out months ago.

Marc, That sucks. Makes you want that James Bond Turbo Esprit "Thief deterrent" alarm where the car blows up in thier face !!

Hope all the repairs go well and you are happier with the glass window.

Shopping area in Park Ridge, NJ, A very nice area with tons of nice cars.
There is NO safe place.....

Funny thing is I usually leave my top down in this lot.

Which glass top are you having installed ? An OEM or one of the aftermarket brands like the ones in Automoton ?

Just curious as my top is showing wear and will probably need replaced in coming years.

So sorry to hear of the break in, just goes to show what A holes will do to make a buck.

I am doing the GAHH top, it has a smaller rear window but I can live with that.
To do the factory glass window would require replacing the entire frame and that would be big bucks!
The nice part is my Porsche dealer is doing the install so they will stand behind the work.

at first I thought it was just out of malice, plain old dumbass taking out his envy in a destructive way, but he stole the wind deflectors out? what kind of idiot risks that for a few hundred dollars worth of plastic that would fetch little to nothing on the street?
