Thanks

No, that's what the manual showed it should have. I couldn't find anything on the top or fronts of the seats with the top down. Kinda hard to get back there with it up.

Without putting the seats down I don't see a way to tuck the top boot behind the seats. The boot interferes with the rear seat belts for anyone taller than my 7 year old nephew. Then again, anyone taller than that probably won't fit back there anyway.

They are a little hard to see, but should be very low on the side, facing the center of the car. They are pins that slide out of a locked point and allow the seat back to fold forwards. I suppose it's possible the red portion has fallen off, it looks plastic.

My rocker panel is a little lose and as I was poking around, realized that I was missing some of the clips/parts that hold the trim and panel to the body.

The problem is I can't seem to find the bits on Pelican that I need to get it back on. I did find this chart that shows the parts I need...




Anybody here by any chance know what parts 4, 19, 15 in this chart are called?

This is the loose side:


This is what they are supposed to be:

Can I suggest that you search for "E_964_KATALOG" which is the pdf containing all the diagrams and corresponding part numbers. This step transformed my life.

With regard to your missing bits I seem to recall that the "bolt" section is actually part of the shark fin trim panel itself and has a highly annoying habit of breaking off. I found that those on my car had been glued back on poorly and I needed to re-do it all using epoxy. It may be that I'm barking up a wrong tree or that the retainers have just vibrated free over time but check the parts & diagrams carefully and you should have your answer.

Edit: Taking my own advice I looked at the manual. Part 4 is A999 507 373 00, part 15 is 999 049 022 40 and part 19 is 964 559 797 00 (left) or 964 559 798 00 (right). Clearly my memory doesn't work as those part 4s are separate items. Maybe it's how they secure to the shark fin (Part 2) that breaks off?? Someone else here will know for sure.

There you go http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-p...section=810-05
Bookmark that website (http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-p..._911_parts.php), very useful to look up part numbers in a pinch.

Amazing, exactly what I was looking for....thanks Z and Laurent. Those links are definitely being bookmarked.

I'm hoping with these parts the trim can be bolted on without any gluing (it seems like the trim end tucks in and is held in by that clamp) but I'll have to give it a try to see what works.

Also, look in the forum for repair of the "shark fin". I've posted on this topic too. Here is one good thread on it:

https://rennlist.com/forums/964-foru...in-repair.html

I would also seriously recommend using an adhesive like this to reattach the "bolt" fasteners (#4) on the fin:




I tried other epoxy, and it did not hold. This product is very good. Your local body shop should have some. It requires a special "gun" to apply, and that's not worth you purchasing for this one application.

For anyone who has hooked up the diagnostic tool while the car was running - is the "O2 Sensor" number supposed to jump around widely (from 15-270ish)?

Yes, the O2 sensor will only tell you accurately if the air fuel ratio is rich, lean or stoichometric but it will not tell you to what degree or rather how much. The process is better described in the Bosch M-Motronic Engine Handbook.

Can anyone shed some light on the source of this dark colored drip/leak that has been working it's way down the trans tunnel?

Hope you don't mind me bouncing this up the list again. I'm sure one of you has a pic.

Please post a pic of what you have. I fly back home tonight and can look at my RHD car tomorrow
