996 windshield in a 78SC? Yes you can.

FWIW:
A few months ago when I was replacing my windshield with the C2 trimless window rubber, my aged windshield cracked. I called a local glass guy and found a tinted, internal antenna windshild for $55.00. It seemed strange since it had a hard plastic trim around the edge of the glass. I had never seen a 911 windshield like this, but the guy guarenteed it would fit my 911. He said it was off a lease and the insurance company replaced it when the car was turned in.

Well last night I received my first issue of Christopherus and there is an article on Porsche glass. I was amazed to find that the windshield I installed in my 78SC came of a 996! I guess somethings don't change.

Sure it wasn't a 993 one? They have the plastic surround too...
Looking at a 996, the windshield looks completely different.
The 993 one looks more like it would fit.

I have a 964 windshield to install in my 85 911.. Will the 964 rubber work? Is it preffered over the earlier setup if I don't have the aluminum trim? Is the back glass and seal also interchangeable?

Thanks.

I didn't think the 993 glass had the plastic trim. Perhaps it was. Well the 993 glass fits then.

As for the trimless 964 front windshield rubber, that is what I put on mine. You just have to center the windshield perfectly in the frame. As for the rear, I haven't don this yet. But plan on it. It should fit as well.
