All the years fit the same.
If you want cheaper chinese glass (works fine), check with your local auto glass installer, usually around $200-250. If you want the higher end, go to your local Porsche dealer $450-500.
The advantage of going local for either type is not having to pay shipping - Usually $150-200 since it has to be crated.
We by our glass 5 at a time since the crating charge is the same and the weight is only slightly more.

Welcome.

Worth noting there are many good discussions about fitting the windshield here that are worth reading f you are doing this yourself.

I agree and one thing I thought was interesting recently was the discussion about urethane helping with structural stiffness versus what came from the factory..

Thank you all. Good advice that I will heed. I've done lots of engines and bodywork but windshields suck.

Prosource Glass International is in Andover, MA. I got my windshield from them and was quite happy.
