The old one pops out really easy using a flat head screw driver on the ends and working your way down.

I found some DIY instructions on how to cut one using tinted plexiglass, but this was complicated and the cost of a whole sheet can get expensive.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all,
For the longest time I contemplated how to tint my windscreen to match the look of my tinted windows. Painting does not work and window tint film would eventually bubble.
I found some DIY instructions on how to cut one using tinted plexiglass, but this was complicated and the cost of a whole sheet can get expensive.

The other week I found a company who actually specializes on doing this, cutting Windscreens for Boxsters and other cars! I bought and installed and it looks great!

Here are some pictures.
I didn't like the look of the screens...so I sold them.
I like the way my roll bar looks now...looks like a real roll bar, pops!
I painted the hooks on the back of the seat gray, but I need to go a shade lighter in gray...do that later this week.
Or change them out with with these (which I am thinking about doing). I'll never use the hooks on the back of the seats.

crios - I like it! that looks really cool. the combo of the tinted side windows and the rear windscreen works. if you had only done one and not the other it would look weird - but I like how it all ties together.
your car has turned out really nice. what else is there for you to do to it????
did you tint your rear brakelight?
The wind Restrictor folks are great to work with. Original wind screen did not fit - so I sent it back with the frame. they fit it properly and retured it to me.
great wat to personalize your ride.
just pulled this old thread back up - dayum that 986 looks SWEET!
i want to copy all your cosmetic mods.... tinted screen, side windows.. rear window.
do you have the clear or smoked third brake light?
Looks great! I actually tinted mine with the usual headlight tint stickers u get off the shops but at 10% darkness (hoping no bubbles anytime soon) and stuck the porsche word on, will post it once i get the chance.
I am looking for a template of the wind screen. One side would be enough as the ends are mirror images. Do you know where one might be available? My car had a windscreen at one time but when I purchased the car it has the clips that attach to the roll bar but no screen. I can get 4 mm lexan, just need the pattern. Thanks for any assistance.
