Cabriolet hood with glass rear screen upgrade. Porsche 986 Boxster

Cabriolet hood with glass, heated rear screen upgrade.



Fits
Porsche 986 Boxster 1997 to 2002

Headlining needs to be reused from old hood or ordered separately.

Product information:
This hood is an upgrade hood for the Porsche Boxster 986 (model year 96-02).
The original Boxsters built during that period only featured PVC windows so this hood was never an original hood, but makes it possible to fit this model with a glass window.
The glass window is a little smaller than the PVC window because the frame's folding mechanism does not allow for a larger (non-folding) glass window.
Information on the rear window:

What's included:
The soft top is supplied with a rear glass window.

Material:
Sonnenland A5
Sonnenland® is a registered trademark for a very high quality canvas made in Germany and used by car manufacturers worldwide for their
original equipment, including Porsche and Mercedes
This is highly UV and abrasion resistant.
The canvas's trademark is a fish bone or criss-cross pattern on its back.
Sonnenland only refers to the material, i.e. yard goods, and not the finished hood

Sonnenland canvases comprise of three layers:



Outer layer: is made of Dralon, which is a woven acrylic fibre (polyacrylonitrile). This fabric is highly UV and abrasion resistant.

Intermediate layer: The intermediate rubber layer comprises of a waterproof synthetic
rubber material. This removes the need for any additional waterproofing. This is why
we do not offer waterproofing products and advise our customers against using any
such products offered on the market.

Inner layer: The backing used to be made of cotton (Sonnenland Classic) and is now
made of polyester

100% waterproof:
We use a kind of thread that has been specially developed for soft tops that swells up when wet and consequently effectively seals the seam holes. All of the seams on the hood are furthermore treated with a fabric seam sealer to ensure that they are 100% waterproof.

No cleaning or waterproofing required:
There will not be any need for expensive cleaning or waterproofing agents. Sonnenland® canvas is a 3-ply material and has a rubber middle layer. The rubber layer keeps water from penetrating through the roof.
