Update: It is a 987 one. Having spent a long time viewing different photos of 986/987 hardtops they are a different profile around the windows, with 986 much more rounded, and 987 more squared off at the rear of the doors in order to accommodate the different window profile. This is apparently a change to improve rearwards visibility over the shoulder. What foxed me was that when it came to me, one of the number of different profiles of rubber sealing was folded over the correct flocked door seal on both sides. This meant that there was no way it would have been waterproof and barely covered the gap between glass and the wrong sealing face. Secondly, the window only retracts upward into a "u"shaped firm rubber profile at the top of the window, and the line of this continues rearwards and about 1" behind the rear portion of the glass when closed, slowly petering out. It looks like the window glass should follow it, but it doesn't. No leaking so far after a day of torrential rain, so all seems well to date. 6 hour drive there and back to the Castle Coombe classic this weekend should give noise reduction and watertightness a good test on the M4. Re the 997.1./2 question above. The 987 Boxster is the second Boxster model after the 986. However, following the 987 facelift in 2009, they are commonly referred to as the 987.1 and 987.2 to differentiate them. 987.2 is not the second Boxster model; it's the facelifted version of the second Boxster model. Hard tops are rare for 987's, but they fit both the original and facelifted models.
