The antenna is installed as it came from the factory...doesn't mean the factory didn't put it on backwards...

Maybe the Targa has the antennas mounted the opposite direction from the other 911s?

Or they mounted my backwards from the factory, and the tech installed it the way he took it off...I have been looking for another Targa to come near me to check...most importantly...I need to tell them to tighten that screw thing down.

Could be. Mine (on the leading edge of the engine lid) has the square side facing rear.

I'll let you know next month Wes when mine arrives! Maybe you can check out of some pics of these Targas for sale although you may not be able to see that well enough: https://www.carstory.com/cars/make-p...mission=manual

Are some 2012 911's a 997 and some a 991?
