This will happen to your 993

No, the rubber just pops in a little slot over the top of the glass, which is bonded to the body. From what I can see, you could run the car without the rubber in really... although it would look pretty crap!
 
The reason I ask is that I used to have a 993 Targa where the rubber popped out at high speed across the top. PCT who repaired it stuck it back in with some sealer but told me it had come unglued. It was explained to me that when a window is intalled the rubber is fitted before the glue dries and bonds to the window glue to hold it in.

Is this how it is done at the factory is the question?

I'm not sure, but when I pulled mine up in the corner to check for the rust, it just popped out of a little channel, and popped back in again once I'd had a look. Mine does not appear to be glued in, though it did have a new screen last year, so maybe it was originally. It's still the original rubber though.

When I replaced my 964 screen which was the original one I noticed that the interior trim & headlining had been trimmed with a blade inside the screen area. In places the blade had gone through the paint & possibly the galvanising. I do not know if Porsche have stopped this bad practice or if it continued with 993 production but it must be the root cause of the rust in some cases.

All,

Just had mine done as the scuttle was bubbling in a couple of places. Very pleased with the result, and no squeak from the (new!) windscreen either.

All the work was done by Premier Panel Skills in Aldershot (no affiliation, etc. etc.), who seem to know a lot about Porsche - highly recommended.

Cheers/John
