I was aware of that option but it is similar to just replacing the blind with the original part.

Surely we dont have to replace the entire sun shade because of one tiny little part?
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.

I had to go look at my own Targa to visualize how that worked!
Hello all. I'm finally trying to get around to fixing my sun-blind on my 2002 Targa.
I have removed the sun blind only to find the plastic part that pulls the blind along the rails has broken. I've searched for the part on the Porsche parts diagram and also asked my Indy to help. But it doesn't look like Porsche sells the clip by itself and I'd prefer not to purchase the full blind (which costs $4-500)
The part number of the entire blind is 99756240500.
The plastic part I'm looking for is in the last picture below. The plastic part just pulls out of the steel 'bow. I've tried to glue it but it didn't hold.
I'm contemplating finding a way to make the part myself (partially since it would be fun) but if anyone has a spare part or knows where to get one please let me know. I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks. That does include the part. I was aware of that option but it is similar to just replacing the blind with the original part.
I wouldn't mind a thicker blind but it really isn't worth that much to me since I only use it when parked to keep the car from heating in the sun.
$400-$500 seems a little silly for a tiny piece of plastic
I had to go look at my own Targa to visualize how that worked! Still can't quite get how the attachment to the steel bow is done.
Looks hard to make something so small that will be strong enough in an amount of time that will be lass than $400 of your life....(Which is annoying I'd agree)
FWIW The whole roof assembly is made by Magna Car Top Systems GmbH but how you would approach them for a one off spare part I've no clue.
I bought a Targa a few days ago and the same thing happened to me.
