986 headrest Perspex inserts - am I dreaming??!!

[B_C718]

Hi, I’ve just purchased a 2004 986 2.7 and am determined to drive with the roof down as much as possible.

I’ve got the main central wind deflector and plastic mesh headrest inserts but it’s still a bit breezy! After some Googling all I can find is Just Roadster’s full size screen (https://www.justroadster.com/collections/wind-deflectors/products/porsche-boxster-986-1996-2004-full-size-wind-deflector-clear)

However, I’m sure I’ve seen independently made Perspex inserts that just push fit in the headrest/rollover hoop, but I can’t find them anywhere?!

Has anyone else come across/used something or was it just a dream?!

Any thoughts or suggestions welcome

Not sure about this:

Isn't there a factory accessory that does what you need creating a clear 'panel' between the seats etc to stop the breeze?

Not to sure what your seeking as most Boxster models have the central clear plastic wind deflector but if you're is missing take a look on Design 911 web site they have all the kit you need.

Ps have you looked inside the rear storage cupboard if you have one fitted some people store the deflector in there.

If you've got those then that's all I have ever seen on a 986, assuming by "main central wind deflector" you mean the plastic that fills the gap between the two roll hoops. If it's any consolation, my 986 with those in place was a lot less breezy than my 981!

Wind deflectors are readily available in eBay, either second hand genuine or replicas. But, is it a case of them simply slotting in once you have removed the trim infill? I recently bought a genuine second hand deflector for a 981, expecting that it would simply slot in. Turns out that you need a two piece infill kit, which is a quite reasonable £142 from OPC. I am collecting mine on Thursday. Hopefully it will help a bit. My 987 was still a drafty place with one in, but then having a solid piece of plastic simply bounces the air back, as opposed to mesh, which I have had on other coupes.
