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 1Original post

Does anyone know if the Red Clip that allows the motion sensor to be enabled with the top down work on the 987 as it does on the 986? Also, does the motion sensor work with both the top and windows down when using the Red Clip or just the top down? Miles

POST 2Original post

The red clip work on 987, same as 986. The clip essentially pushes in a little button that is normally pushed down by the top latch. I don't think the window position matters.

POST 3Original post

Good info, thanks. I've been wondering this for a while now. Most vendors only list the clips for 986s, and won't tell if it'll work for the 987s. Now to find one at a reasonable price

POST 4Original post

I kinda figured out what that "red clip" does, but, uh, what is it?

POST 5Original post

It's a plastic clip shaped like a 'C' that goes over the rear-ward side of the plate where the top latches. It hooks over the upper edge and underneath where the button is located. And it's red. At least the ones sold by Porshce for the 986 are.

The red clip as available from Suncoast: Suncoast Porsche, Audi, & VW: The Red Clip

POST 7Original post

Thanks guys, that is the information I was looking for. Does anyone know if the motion sensor works with the windows down as well a the top or do they have to be up? Miles
