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

I want to fit roof bars to my MY98 coupe (no sunroof) and am aware that I'm going to need to dig out the existing bar mounting plastics in order to fit them. The plastic grub screws are falling apart, they will probably need to removing by dropping the roof lining. I understand that the 996.2 roof bar mounting brackets are a direct fit and far higher quality. Have any of you done this? Do you have the part numbers please?

Think I've answered my own questions finding this link! https://www.renntech.org/forums/topic/16221-roof-rack-anchor-plates-part-number/

POST 3Original post

Yes as described by the link. The plates are 996 504 911 00 and should be £22 each inc vat from your local OPC. Remember to ask for a discount! However I did not know this 5 years ago..... My MY99 grub screws were rusted solid, never been out. I removed the mounts (I didn't drop headliner, just the trim) and drilled them out and re-tapped. I now use greased up stainless grub screws. But new ones for £90 would have saved a fun afternoons entertainment.
