2001 996 3.4 C2 Coupe Rear Screen Question

[Crhodes64]

Hi

Wondering if anyone might know the answer to this question please..

I have a 2001 996 3.4 C2 - Last of the narrow body 996's - In 2002 they introduced the 3.6 engine and made a few changes including the chassis moving fro 1765mm wide to 1770mm wide.

My rear windscreen is scratched and I have an opportunity to purchase a new genuine Porsche Screen - The problem is that the screen that is available is apparently for the 996 2002 model year onwards. My question is - Will a 2002 model year 996 rear screen fit in a 2001 model year car?

The correct rear screen part number for my 2001 model year is 996.545.901.02
The rear screen part number available to me is 996.545.901.03

I could try to measure them both - but difficult without removing my existing screen. Superficially they look identical.

Very grateful for any insights

Cheers

Colin

Replying to my own post - but Kudos to Paul from Glasstec who has answered my question.

Appears that the screens are not the same. Apparently a 1J code indicates a size change.

Anyway - here for others on PH site in case this comes up in the future.

If anyone happens to have a new 996.545.902.02 screen they want to sell please feel free to ping me.

Cheers

Colin
