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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone know if the 986 and 996 windshields are interchangeable? I can't find a definitive answer online... I have a 1999 996 and have found someone selling a new oem 986 windshield. Part number 986-541-901-03 My car is currently in the shop and I don't have my vin# with me. But it's an early build from March 1998... 1999 911coupe 3.4L Early build 03/98 Hope this helps, thank you!

Looks like the site can't confirm if it will fit. Made a call into a local Porsche dealer to see if they can help. Thank you for the advice

POST 4Original post

No idea, but considering thr part number and price is different I would lean towards "why risk it?" Especially when the 996 glass is only $60 more than the Boxster windshield.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I know a guy who's selling an OEM BNIB windshield for $350 CAD .. the 996 is $940CAD Everything is cheaper in the US. I would drive it down an have the work done, but the borders are still closed.

Ouch. Yeah, now I see why you are asking.

POST 7Original post

curious to know the answer to this as well, are 986 and 996 the same glass? - ( disregarding tints and antennas of course)

POST 8Original post

Sekurit lists the part number for the Boxster windscreen as only fitting the Boxster. They have a part for 99-01 996 says compatible with all models coupe and cabriolet, and a 01-04 for all models. So I'm going to go with no.

POST 9Original post

Options like rain sensor raise the cost too. Auto-dimming mirrors might be a different windshield too. It seems like when I ordered mine that was one of the things they asked me about. 3 years ago (in September) the going rate for a non-OEM windshield(with rain sensor & autodimming mirror) + installation was $633.

Call Kevin 647- 382 3982 - I replaced 2 glasses recently , he does a great job and you can save some $$$ by paying cash. https://www.coventryclassicagt.com/ Otherwise I can get you a deal from Downtown Porsche at least some discount (most likely about $150 off)

They are not the same, they are completely different angles
