Dumb convertible questions
My new-to-me '04 is a cab, and the first 911 Cab I've owned. I have some top questions that I don't seem to be able to find.
1) It came with the factory hardtop, but it seems to be missing the covers that go over the bolts that secure the top on the inside in the rear. What the hell are those things called? I need to buy new ones, but I can't figure out what to even search for.
2) The headliner in the soft top is saggy in parts (in the corners and along one edge). Is this a DIY type effort or do I simply replace the headliner and be done with it.
I get that the top is 11+ years old, so I'm not disappointed in it, just trying to decide best avenue to take.
Thanks!

Those hardtop receiver covers are super cheap. As far as the headliner - my 04 cab had the headliner replaced under warranty years ago, and it still sags a bit in the same spots you mentioned. I don't even give it a second thought though. You could probably spray some adhesive between the roof and the headliner and smooth it out yourself if it's bugging you.

Thanks guys, I may replace it one day. I'm not in a big hurry at the moment. Thanks for the part numbers on the covers!
