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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=2660&pid=14369&st=0&#entry14369 The clips come as a kit with both side clips, the middle thing, and pop-rivets. You will need a drill to drill off the head of the old pop-rivet and a pop rivet gun. Each clip uses 1 rivet. The kit has more rivets then you need.

POST 3Original post

I've seen the kit on ebay. Do a search with keywords Boxster and wind and you should find it. Good luck!

POST 4Original post

The guy at Sunset in Oregon told me he has two customers who buy things like this kit by the dozens to resell on eBay. He said he has a customer who buys ten eye tow hook screw thingies a month to sell on eBay because tow truck drivers remove them and they don't get put back in the toolkit. Sooooo, save yourself some money and cut out the middle man. Buy from Sunset straight away!
