Question Lost a seat-back windscreen

I seem to have lost the passenger seat-back windscreen, and prefer to consider it to have flew off as opposed to being lifted, but not sure.

Does anyone have an extra right, or pair, they are looking to sell?

Thanks in advance!

Check the area where the soft top folds into when the top retracts. I found mine there.

I had to replace one of mine after trying to use a harness and the screen together. One of the clips broke making it a sure bet it would fly off. I replaced it with one from the dealer, but as I recall it wasn't "cheap" for what it is!

It won't help now but tiny black zip ties will save them in the future.

You know, I always worry when I'm on the highway with the top down. I hear the passenger one rattling a little bit and then I'm convinced it's going to fly right out. Hasn't happened though.... *fingers crossed*

Thanks for the tip. I never even thought of that.

I lost the driver's side cover within days of getting my car. Saw it hit the highway behind me and get run over.

They are expensive and are very cheap plastic. I think the thing was close to $80 at the dealer. Apparently they warp fairly easily in the heat.

If you tie to the bottom of the roll bars you won't even notice them. That way it won't blow away but it won't stop them from popping out.

Just order a new one from Suncoast Porsche on-line, $99.95. Look's like a great place, with reasonable pricing for goodies as well!

Next stop, zip ties.

Suncoast is a great place, it's where I bought every part change I showed you (550 tails, grey sidemarkers, gt3 console delete, non-smoker kit, red clip, etc etc)

I shopped around and they had the best deals. Ordered the lights as well.

Thanks for the reference.
