Sorry, to be clear they fully fitted both driver and passenger harnesses which entailed removing the seats.

Schroth say that the 991 and 992 harnesses are interchangeable other than there being a spacer for the crotch strap to be used only on the 992.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Attempting to fit my Porsche supplied 6 point harnesses in my GT4 RS. All seems pretty simple except does anyone know how to remove the plastic cap covering the nut (mounting point) in the transmission tunnel? It appears to be glued in and doesn't want to come out! Thanks

POST 3Original post

It’s a pain to get out but keep digging, mine was similarly ‘glued’ in. Destroyed it getting it out (pliers and screwdriver)

POST 4Original post

If it's anything like the 981 GT4 harness, the transmission tunnel harness bolt goes in at a weird angle. Owner before me had clearly crossed the threads, but with seat all the way forwards and a bit of patience, managed to get it seated on the correct threads. It was a tense moment! Liam

I eventually gave up and took it in to my local Porsche dealership who sorted it for £730

POST 9Original post

And then you have to adjust the length of the crotch straps .... I fitted new harnesses to my 2018 GT3RS ... obtaining a pair of new 992 harnesses (one without the fixings) and the extinguisher from an exported Dakar. Schroth say that the 991 and 992 harnesses are interchangeable other than there being a spacer for the crotch strap to be used only on the 992. I had one set of fittings from the out of date and unfitted 991 harnesses and one set from the 992 harnesses. The OPC decided that the set without the spacer was incomplete and kindly left me to finish fitting this to the passenger side. Without wishing to remove the seat, I pulled out the fire extinguisher and slid the seat as far forwards as possible. It is doable but it is very very tight ... and I'm a small person ! At one stage I ended up hanging over the back of the seats with my head in the rear footwell reminding myself that adjusting the webbing strap lengths was only hard "if I thought it was !". No fun .... but another story to tell ...

Wow at the price and wow at them taking 4 hours, or at least billing 4 hours.

POST 11Original post

Grrrrrrraham said: I eventually gave up and took it in to my local Porsche dealership who sorted it for £730 That's ridiculous amount of money. I think I did it quicker than that with the assistance of a friend. It's fiddly but not that difficult.
