Default 968 parts needed....

Looking for a couple parts for my 'new' 1995 968 coupe.
(1) Roof antenna mast....mine is crusty
(1) Engine compartment light housing.....mine is cracked and dangling
(1) Engine compartment front storage shroud....mine is missing

Oh yeah, and how do you get the "!" light off? The air bag light is on as well.
Thanks to any and all with this!

Bill

The airbag light needs to go off before the "!" will, assuming nothing else is also triggering it. Easiest way is getting a Durametric to read the codes to find the issue then use it to reset. I have the same issue where the PO used a 3 ohm resistor in the under dash connector to spoof the airbag presence in the steering wheel due to a worn clockspring. I'm replacing it with a good used one because one of the reasons I bought a 968 is because of the dual airbags.

I also had the crusty antenna and replaced it with a new one from pelican because it's surprisingly cheap. http://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Inf...SVSVSI=944.htm

The other parts are probably best found on ebay or people parting out 944s and 968s on forums because used it about the only way to go.

Nice looking car - did the kid come with it?

I have a front storage compartment. PM me for details.

Thanks for the tip on the antenna... I'll check them out.
I have a code reader....I'll hook it up and see what happens.

95's had neither engine shroud. So yours is not missing, the rear one is "hitching".
I have both. PM me.

So no front plastic shroud around the air box with the little compartment on a '95? Didn't know that. I did just order an antenna and engine compartment light from pelican....thanks for the website!

Hi Bill,

Even if you pick up a front storage shroud your car does not have the brackets that they attach to. You can rig something up but be prepared to have to deal with that.

All the 95s don't have the engine compartment trim as well as the non-718 94s.

Be sure to learn more about 968s here:
