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

I've always had a bit of problem with the fact that a £75000 convertible has a plastic rear window. However, GAHH in the US have developed a replacement hood with a heated glass rear window for the pre-facelift cabriolet. <Click HERE> Does anyone know anything about it? I've emailed a couple of UK companies who do a similar one for the Boxster but neither had any plans to do one for a 996.

POST 2Original post

Jasmine are doing a replacement hood with glass window for the Boxster. I think there was talk of a similar development for the 996. Worth giving them a call to see. Tel. 01282 697171 Oops! looks like you may already have done that.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've been in touch with Jasmine and they have no plans to supply one at the moment. They have a German supplier for their Boxster hoods. Whether or not they're working on a 996 version appears to be a state secret. I've asked the question on Renntech as well so I'll post any info here.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Spoken to www.carhood.com in Chessington. They import the GAHH Boxster top. The 996 top should be available from them in due course (probably within a year).

POST 5Original post

you could try www.bas-international.com - they were the first with the 986 hood, so might be able to help with the 996
