So a convertible windshield doesn't have an antennae either. I am just a bit concerned that once a new windshield is installed it may be near impossible to tell the correct Z windscreen from the thicker one for the convertible.

Don't know about all the years but in '04 while taking our R8C tour they said the convertible and Z06 windshields were the same to eliminate stocking the extra part.

Do yourself a favor and find a good local glass shop that'll do the job at their shop and stand behind their work. Local independent outfits have reputations to protect, and that's a good thing.
