On the wall for padding so I don't damage the car doors is a length of fire hose material that I have filled with styrofoam peanuts--and then screwed to the wall every 18 inches.

For a similar amount, found a harness for the hard top (just straps and fittings that can store easily when not in use).

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.

Hey
Just a few quick questions about the 996 cabrio.
1. Is it easy to install a mkII glass window in to the mkI?
2. How long does it to remove the rag top and install the hard top?
Thanks
The mkII glass is not interchangeable. The only way to get a glass rear window is to go aftermarket, keep in mind the rear window will be much smaller though. Look here for examples
http://www.gahh.com/store.php?cPath=...ts_family_id=1
Note that the advantage of the plastic window is that it's bigger that the tops with glass windows -- better rear view. Disadvantage is that is gets yellow/cracks/etc. over time. So it's a tradeoff. pfb111 is right. Because the opening is bigger, you can't just install a glass window in a top designed for a plastic window. You need a new top designed for glass.
there are a few threads on the hard top hoists and what other RL have purchased or made at home;
I found this particular electric hoist well priced and installed myself with hardware provided and added a cable around the motor bracket as a redundant safety to prevent the motor from falling. it has 7 lag bolts going from a bracket ( behind the drywall ) into the joist right above (total time to install: about 3 hours)
the hoist states a load raing of 400 lbs, IIRC.
the hardtop stays out of the way and about 5 minutes from start to finish to back the car into the garage and either remove or install the hard top.
For about $69 I got an electric hoist from Harbor Freight. Mounted it on the wall, pulley on a rafter. For a similar amount, found a harness for the hard top (just straps and fittings that can store easily when not in use). Makes it a straightforward, 1 person, on and off.
The E Z Lifts are first rate, and anyone could easily emulate them (reverse engineer). On the wall for padding so I don't damage the car doors is a length of fire hose material that I have filled with styrofoam peanuts--and then screwed to the wall every 18 inches.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
