Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion

Depending on where you want to apply it, you may be able to slide the heatshrink down the leg and over the top of the foam, but if you can’t, then slit the heatshink sleeve, then use superglue to join it back.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

can anyone please advise? firstly rear genuine cage in my 04 6rs is black, the front bolt in cage is white... is this normal? i know the rear cage being white was an option. secondly, the foam on the front cage has deteriorated badly.. apart from being a pain in the ar*e to remove, i understand it is NLA from Porsche. Any suggestion where i can get the same/similar to replace? cheers!

Any suggestion where i can get the same/similar to replace? cheers! Sounds like a previous owner found a used front cage in white, I’d be inclined to remove it all and get it painted matt black to match. As for the foam, while the cage is out you could add the foam yourself. On the cars we build, we use a self adhesive 3mm foam wrapped around the bars where you want it, and then apply heat shrink sleeve over the top, with a 50mm overlap on the length to allow for shrinkage. Depending on where you want to apply it, you may be able to slide the heatshrink down the leg and over the top of the foam, but if you can’t, then slit the heatshink sleeve, then use superglue to join it back. Place the seam to face an area where the join can’t be seen. It can be a bit fiddly, and you need to experiment to get it to conform around bends in the tubing, but it’s a very satisfying job to get right.
