So I went to my local Porsche dismantler today to get some factory tools (all I had was the phillips screwdriver). He gets all of them for me and we are snapping them into my tool tray. We realize there is no space for the crank for the sunroof/power seat. I go home and check the part number in PET, should be 928.551.081.06. Mine is 928.551.181.05. I try a part number lookup on mine and it can't be found.

Anyone heard of this before?

If yours is 928 551 081 05, it's from a '78-82, assuming it has a cutout for the rear wiper. One from a 78-82 rear wiper delete car would be 928 551 081 04.

928 551 081 06 is 1983-1995.

I think.

Ted,
928 551 181 05 may be just the plastic part of the tray.
Complete with carpet and "hold down screws" is 928 551 081 06 - 83 to 90.
928 551 081 06 supercedes to 928 551 081 08.
Carpet color is an added suffix.

Ted,

The part# was probably superseded, maybe to add the clip for the crank tool??

The sunroof tool is separate, for our '88 it was tucked in to the space behind the tool tray, a tiny crank with a screw-- looks like this.
Also see this thread

The long-ish crank that fits into the tool tray is for moving the power seats manually on later cars, and also fits the front towing-eye plug (if it hasn't already been drilled out and replaced with a rubber plug). It fits a couple of molded clips near on the bottom of the right side.

Cheers,

OK I was going by this picture Alan posted a while ago. The toll I have that doesn't fit is the speed handle with the Allan key. Maybe the GTS panel is different.

Only now does it hit me that my rear-wiper-less '80 has a tool tray to match, 928 551 081 04. (Think of all that extra cargo space!)

I am still surprised by how many parts they made, for every option.

And how heavy the base of the emergency triangle is.

PorKen

Steel is real! The triangle base is a tank. Steel jack and spare tire, too. Good thing it has aluminum ball joints to balance the weight.


Funny that the useful flag part of the warning triangle is actually kind of flimsy. One of the rivets has popped loose.
