They should be watertight, there are plenty of Boxster owners that don't have a garage :D

It is an excellent hood. Mine is a replacement with a glass rear window but they are all double thickness & mine is 100% waterproof.

Based on 3.5 years ownership of a 986s, I'd say the Boxster roof is as good as any. Mine never leaked a drop (later, glass window roof).
