Default Need help finding part!

I want to relocate the sunroof switch like shown here:



I can't find either the mounting surround or a version of the sunroof switch that looks like this. Any ideas?

Bob

I believe that is the Targa center console.

The difference is that the sunroof switch (and all that mount in the center console) do not have surrounds. The window switch does have a surround, but, I can't get it apart to just use the surround. (is this making sense?)

Why not just use a power window switch to run the sunroof?

I guess I could, but, I was really hoping to have the correct switch with graphic.

Oh I see, Im pretty sure that surround is separate and you can use it on any of the switches.

You would think that, but, I can't seem to find the surround or part number anywhere!

I have taken apart alot of Porsches and also Have never seen the trim on a Sunroof switch.
The mirror changeover switches have a trim like that on the earlier cars but I think it is a bit diffrent size.

I know! But, there is a pic of that surround. Also, I have seen people use something like that surround when they refurb the 'bat consol'.

I bought some from Sunset for my bat phone console. Found the part number in PET: 911 613 615 01 Retaining Frame. In PET, it's number 11a on the illustration that shows the switches on the little center console thing. It fits the sunroof switch.
