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.

I'm not sure if it's repairable, or if it would be simpler to just replace the entire flap mechanism per the part number(s) referenced above.

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

Have a 2004 996 convertible. When putting top down found this piece laying there. I think it has something to do with the flaps on side but not sure. Has this snapped off a larger piece? Thanks for any help

POST 2Original post

That looks like one of the arms from the flaps UNDER the left and right side of the clamshell cover. (not the flaps that are visible.) Part Number 99656106102 or 202 Part #21 here This thing: http://www.rosepassion.com/media/pho...=300&h=300&e=0 If that's it, I believe the function of that flap is to protect the sides of the folded top fabric from being damaged by the mechanism of the clamshell cover. There is also a flap on the rear clamshell latch that is critical, but I'm not sure how important the side flaps are. I'm not sure if it's repairable, or if it would be simpler to just replace the entire flap mechanism per the part number(s) referenced above.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you. Spot on. Order part.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
