On the 996.1 cabs there is an available "spring loaded cover" that goes over the latching mechanism in the top storage area, under the clamshell, to prevent tears in the top. Have one on order from the dealer, does anyone know how the part is installed? Parts person said it just clips on over the latch. Cant find anything about the install.

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.

I believe it is held in place with plastic push pins.I bought one also haven’t installed it yet.Not able to put eyes on at this moment.Will be able to tomorrow.
Thanka. Did the push pins come with the clip or have to be ordered separately?
Part #s for plastic expansion rivet 99959194140. Can’t find my cover at this time,packed away…looking at the latch it looks like 2 are needed,I don’t believe that they were included.sorry I cannot be more definitive. Regards.
Thanks much! This helps a lot, will call the parts dept in the morning and make sure they are ordered.
This thread has a photo of the part. I think it installs with two little screws. I actually repaired mine 8 years ago, and it's still going strong. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...w-closing.html
Perfect! Thanks, guys. I tried searching on "little plastic thingy to save a $2k top" but that thread didn't show up. Good illustration. Seems like a simple job..
