Can anyone help me in the replacement of a plastic rear window to a glass one, or where I can get a new plastic window sewn-in. Names numbers websites will help. I live 10 miles or so, west of Manchester.

Thnaks

Paul.

thanks dekandgord for the addresses.

Would you know if they are hard to fit and can be done DIY.

to be honest anything beyond 1985 is beyond my experience. I really dont know. Promax have a good rep though, you might want to ring them and ask.

I replaced my 2002 Boxster S hood with a new one from Carhood Warehouse, it cost £745 including VAT and fitting and is a full glass back window version with rear demister linked in to the standard switch for the mirrors. I am very pleased with it, so much easier to look out of than the crappy plastic one and no worries about it cracking or needing to be folded.
