I needed to remove the front bumper cover to install a new HomeLink module. A couple of lower bumper cover mounting inserts and screws are sheared off. I'd like to replace them. I'm pretty sure the screw is part number 99907322709 and it's the fastener that takes a 27 Torx. (There are a few smaller fasteners taken out to remove the bumper cover that take a 25 Torx and I believe their part number is 99907323109.)

Does anyone have a part number and supplier for the larger fastener insert that goes in the (lower) frame for a 997.1?

The inserts are square with ears and fit into a square hole in the black frame. Attached is a pic.

If the insert is not available separately, is there an alternate way to secure the front bumper cover?

 

When I checked the PET, I thought you are referring to "captive nut" PN 999-507-590-02. But when I looked up that part for suppliers, it seems that 999-591-629-01 more closely resembles the one in your photo. See here: https://www.delawareporscheparts.com...ut-99959162901

I believe they are called panel screws... 999 073 505 01 The other is a panel nut: 999 507 795 09 (maybe). There are other nuts out there, some in Washington, others under your car... here is another: 999 507 849 01

Best to just go to your local dealer for this stuff to be sure

Thanks everyone.

I found the part number. None of the three dealers in the area had the part so I'll be ordering online.
The part number is 999 591 329 01. Here's a pic. It fits into the square hole in the second pic.
