I am not sure the original poster is serious in his inquiry. I have emailed him with no response. Additionally there have not been any follow up posts.
Hopefully this info. has helped others, as these threads usually do.

Just $.02 from a Targa owner.
Good luck with the search for the perfect car. It took me 6 months to find mine.

What were these parts? My sunshade works perfectly, but I am curious.
Your car is perfect, it looks great.
BTW, there is only one other 993 in this area. I have not seen it but the PCA guys tell me so.

The parts I ordered for my sunshade are the two "pulling parts" that go in either end of the sunshade's leading edge. The pieces are made of pot metal, and the tabs on them that slide in the track for the sunshade had broken. From looking at PET it didn't appear the parts were listed, and I thought I would have to buy the entire sunshade assembly (at $880 according to my dealer). Saw the part numbers for these pieces on Rennlist, and the total cost was right at $15.
When I received the new parts, I noticed the change to the design. Rather than have only a single tab to slide in the track, the revised part has two tabs, and is "beefier" in its construction.
The thread where I found the part numbers can be found here:
