I opened my frunk the other day and noticed a small piece of plastic trim seems to be missing somehow. Does anyone recognize the circled piece in the pic and know where I can find a replacement?

I'm not sure what you'd need it for in a targa, but in a cabriolet that piece is used to secure the wind deflector screen with a velcro strap when it's folded and placed in the case for storage. I would imagine you could use it as a tie down for other cargo too...

It also serves to lock down the forward-facing panels above and below it. It slides (with some effort) to the right to release and to the left to lock.

This link will take you to the part diagram for that part of your car: http://www.gaudinporscheparts.com/pa...iagram=6936050. I think it is part #15 in the diagram, shown as part 9975518050102A. This site has it for a whopping $5.90.

Please don't take my word for it though. Please verify this is the correct part for yourself.

As I thought about it I was worried that maybe I hadn't pointed you to the right part. I confirmed it is correct though after finding a better picture of it that matches what I showed you in the earlier post. Here it is shown as part #26, but you can see it is the same part, just a clearer drawing with a different number on the diagram (same part# as above though).

Thanks very much!
