Well.... "without a problem" was definitely a BIT off the mark. I had a pretty tough time getting this Roof Rack to fit properly. But it did go on....in the end....whew!! I was having visions of having to package it back up, and return it - at great cost, to myself!! But with some 'fighting', I got it to work.
I ended up having to 'very loosely' attach everything - and slowly tighten it up, in place. Otherwise, this was a super stressful fit up...
if you had taken my advice you would have got the one made for the 987
it looks like the rear bar is not aligned "flat" with the front bar?
Definitely aligned. And the fit is actually really solid. It was just a level of 'fiddling' to get it set up, that was somewhat nerve-racking. It didn't help that my Cayman roof is beyond flawless, and I really wanted to keep it that way. haha

Definitely useful thread here. It appears the 987 rack is NLA from most sources, so the 996/997 rack might be the sole choice if buying new. For those of you that have either, what do you use for a roof box and does the rack give off wind noise?
If anyone is looking, I've got the original 987 roof transport system sitting in a box in the garage with a tire transport track to mount on it. I was going to use it to transport track tires but I ended up with a trailer instead. PM if you're interested.
RDJ decided to go a different direction, so here's a post with the details if anyone else is interested in purchasing the roof transport system, bike racks, or a tire carrier.
Not a dumb question at all, but a bit late since I sold all of the items. Yes, you can fit all four wheels/tires in the Rhinorack AT1512. You do need to deflate the tires quite a bit, but it works without too much trouble.

Still available?! Just got my 987. I've been dreaming of a 987 with roof racks since high school. I'm 38 now. Not sure why I waited so long, but I can't wait to put on a clean set of racks on my baby... lmk
