I recently got a pretty good deal on a full set, front and back.
Leading evidence: 'Set front and back' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Set front and back' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

Getting ready to make an offer on a 911 Carrera Cab with the pictured tear in the top edge seam above the drivers seat.
Is this repairable or does it need a new top? Cost?
Thanks!
Hi Guys,
I know a lot of you like myself elected to go for a little cooler look of the red seat belts in their 911/996 cabs or turbo cabs. I recently got a pretty good deal on a full set, front and back. I need some help with the install. If there's someone out there that either has install instructions or could walk me through the process it would be greatly appreciated. I'm assuming there is a right way to do everything as far as sequence, what has to come off and what doesn't, and where the screws are located to efficiently do the job and like all of you, I want to do it right the first time. My goal is to always do what I can do as professionally as possible and from what I'm hearing the belts are something I can do myself in my garage without the hassle and expense of paying the dealer. So any help or suggestions please send them over. I believe the '02-04Carrera Cab and Turbo Carrera Cabs should be virtually identical as far as install, it's the Cab piece that makes it a different animal due to location, access, etc. I will await someone's kind assistence or if you can point me to someone or somewhere else where I can find this information I will be indebted to you.
Thank you,

Looks repairable, local ragtop installer (not Porsche dealer) could do it. Cost, too many variables??? Is the top itself and/or rear window in good shape? If yes, do repair, if not, get a new top.
I actually did the front seat belts over the w-end no problem. I wouldn't have even tried w/out the PDF instructions I got from Bill, because there were a couple little tips that saved a whole lot of time and potential trouble. The backs though in a convertible are a lot more complicated to change out due to the emergency rollover system removal requirement in order to get access/clearance to the rear belt tensioners. Again, it's not something I'm willing to try w/out sufficient instructions. The rear seatbelt instructions just reference "remove the emergency rollover system" but don't tell you how. I believe there is a hyperlink in the document that Bill has that breaks it down but since I just got a copy of it, I'm not able to link it, and unfortunately for me, he's out of the country. So, if anyone else has instructions or experience in removing this system, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll be awaiting Bill's return! Thanks for the suggestions and ideas.
