Serviced the clamshell mechanism. Let's call it perventative maintenance and the unfortunate knack some of us have for taking things apart for no reason.

Also see pdf attached at the bottom...the additional pictures were not showing properly in the initial post.


Put the convertible top in service mode. Refer to the great Pelican Parts guide, and follow disassembly up to Figure 5 of Ref. [1].


Disassembly and inspection of central drive mechanism on the bench.

I am working on fixing a sticky throttle. After removing the pedal assembly and pulling on the cable that goes to the position sensor in the dash I don't think it's the pedal. Can this rotary sensor be lubricated or something similar to fix this problem?

It's hard to be smooth on the accelerator and makes 1st and 2nd gear a chore. Picture of cam lever and sensor below borrowed from another user's post:

Washed it. First time I've used snowfoam as my detailer said I had to now the car is ceramic coated. The snowfoam is messy as hell, but it does indeed seem to get a lot of the dirt off prior to the main wash :

Default Installed 997 Power/Heated Seats

Just finished the installation of some 997 heated/power seats. These had the memory feature (as did my 03 C4S), so the wiring for the driver's seat was a real challenge (still have to sort out the driver's lumbar adjustment wiring). Otherwise, the seats are (as others have said) a huge improvement.

Have to give a huge thank you to the many folks who have done similar work and documented it here. While my situation was slightly different, these folks' work got me going in the right direction and made it possible for me to figure this out.

Hi. Thankyou

It’s the Aerokit Cup II bumper kit. Identical to the GT3 item but with a smaller splitter, and radiator ducts to fit the C2 radiators (which I think are smaller than the GT3/Turbo radiators and ducts)

Fyi gt3 and c2 rads and ducts r the same but differ from a mk1 and 2.. Gt2 and turbo r completely different.

So, that's a Oem factory item?

I'm skipping the car cover this winter. Mice ate my old cover over the summer.

Thanks for that. I wasn’t 100% sure, so good to know
