Owners manual topics of interest
The main things I'm looking for are: the emergency operation of the cabriolet top, removal of the wind deflector(for carrying passengers in the backseat), headlight/foglight, and climate control system operation. I realise the engine is different ie varioram and emissions. Thanks again!

Checking today according to my local Porsche dealer parts department there are 93 copies available of the 1996 993 owners' manual at the PA warehouse which can be ordered by any dealership. That would include Sunset. There are currently no 1997 manuals available in the USA. Didn't ask about '95 or '98.

The Porsche dealers in NZ say they can no longer get 993 owners manuals from Porsche in Germany. Maybe I should have tried a dealer in the states. In any case, do you reckon that the 97 model year owners manual will be pretty much the same as the 95 model year owners manual?

Hi All,
The most important issue with the owners manual is to get a manual that was printed before the car was built. The owners manual have a print date on them.
Otherwise it is a bit of a give away that it's not the original, owners manual.

They are STILL available but only the 1998 versions - I ordered manuals from Sunset about 6 months ago, and Bob confirmed a few days ago that Porsche can only supply these manuals. The rest are NLA. cost was around $40 or so if I remember correctly.
