I've had two Boxsters, both with wind deflectors and I recommend them highly. It made a big difference in the amount of wind in the cockpit while driving. I have a set from my last Boxster, which includes the plastic insert between the seats and the two screens that pop into the headrests. They are all in perfect condition and available for sale on Seattle's Craigslist under auto parts and accessories for $150. I'm certain they will fit Boxsters up to year 2004 - you'll need to confirm if there was a change after that. You may need some hardware drilled into the roll bars to hold the plastic screen in place but should be inexpensive.
I wish I still had the car but a new baby meant a change of cars. Good luck to you!

I have an 02 Boxster ( milage-41K) that just got this disease & out of warranty. "On average "-when does the clutch need to be replaced and what would be an estimate of the cost for both clutch & RMS repair at an authorized dealer?

My 2002 Boxster's plastic rear window has developed a small (1/2" crack). Any suggestions on what I can use to seal this?
Thanks!

I just had my '04Boxster experience an Intermediate shaft failure w/52,000. I am also very fortunate to convince PNA to repair it at no charge.
$19,500 is probably not out of line for an S with such low miles.
There are no percentages of IMS failure in Boxsters, however the scuttlebut among drivers is that PNA is aware of the problem on the 996 engines and the failure rate could be as high as 20%. All the new Box's have better IMS installed and it can be retrofitted (as mine supposadly was).

You might start by visiting the Boxster Babblers web-site, a club out of SF area. Lots of chat. One of the members manufactures wind deflectors to reduce cabin noise and keep his wife's hair from blowing around.

I have a new 2009 Boxster. My wind deflector rattles and vibrates at speeds of 70 mph or more. Any suggestions about how I can fix this? It seems that there should be some type of reinforcement across the top of the plastic, from side to side, to prevent the vibration and shuddering. Any comments appreciated.
