These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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

Hi, I am now seriously considering trading up to an early 996 cab from my 993 C2. I know the early ones have plastic windows which looks ok I guess. The later ones have a heated glass window which looks much nicer. Would I be able to replace the plastic one with a glass one?? Thanks in advance, Hasan Migration info. Legacy thread was 28112

POST 2Original post

Wouldn't have thought so as my plastic one actually folds when the roof retracts. I suspect the whole roof mechanics have been changed to allow for the later glass ones. Migration info. Legacy thread was 28136
