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.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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

Well its time to do some of the Carbon Upgrades, and I need to replace the front defroster vents(NOT SIDES) and I am curious to know if anyone knows how these things come off. I think ou need to pull them off, like everything else in out cars , but any advise would be great.. Paul

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That would work, but i dont think the duct tape would cover nicely

POST 4Original post

From the RennTech DIY forum: 1. Remove the sun visor. It simply pulls out 2. Use the small flat screw driver to pry of plastic cover on visor base. When removed, you will see the Hex bolt heads 3. Use the 4 mm Hex wrench key to remove both bolts. Hold on to the part, it has washers on the other side and can get fall off if not careful. 4. Now pull off the A-pillar cover.

POST 6Original post

looks good. I going to remove my A pillar and fool with the antenna to increase my remote distance.

POST 7Original post

Hey Vulture..let me know when you plan to do that...I was planning on doing the same. My remote is so sporatic and when it does work I pretty much have to have the key a foot away from the car Maybe you, Tim, and I can get together.

POST 8Original post

The quote from the RennTech DIY, that I used above, is the first stage of a complete description on how to do exactly that. The author based his DIY on the Porsche TSB. It only takes a few minutes after the A pillar trim is removed. I tried it with very good results. I suggest you use either the DIY, TSB, or both .... as the Porsche instructions are very specific on the length to which the antenna should be cut.

POST 9Original post

Thanks for refreshing my memory, I found the DIY and will attempt to do it this week or weekend. I want to do this badly, I will be available after work(4pm) all week or this weekend. I might hardwire my valentine 1 as well. it may be worth it to come by and laugh at me while I try lol
