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.

15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I saw it hit the windshield, really weird. It looked like a large piece of flat ice & was loud. Did not break the glass. After getting home I noticed that the chrome looking cap on the R headlight passenger side is gone. i have no idea what that is?? how do i get one to replace it? thank you!

POST 2Original post

You can get decent replica caps off of Amazon or eBay. They’re usually under $40 for a pair.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

what is it called & what is its function? Thanks!

POST 4Original post

It�s the cap for the headlight washers on the .2 cars. It seems they fly off fairly often�

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

there are no headlight washer nozzles on the light but I think I was pulling the wiper pump when it popped off. The windshield nozzle never sprayed water though. i found the pump emptied the reservoir under the car. not sure what this is?

POST 6Original post

That's the washer nozzle. When you spray your windshield, they pop up and also spray the lights.You can grab a set of pliers and pull it up yourself to have a look.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I learn something every day! I think this is the 1st time I�ve ever attempted to use the washer!

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Without starting a new thread, what are the cover name rear seat? I broke it and now it popped out and lost too!

POST 10Original post

That's the cap over the washer nozzle. You may be able to find a replica on ebay, but the part number for the left one is 996-928-143-00. Here is a link: Porsche Headlight Washer Nozzle Genuine Porsche 99662814300 996 628 143 00 996.628.143.00 996-628-143-00 | Pelican Parts I don't have the instructions in front of me but you basically pull up the remaining washer unit and unclip it. The new one you simply push into place until you hear a click.

POST 11Original post

The cover over the pop-up roll bars...I don't think it is sold separately. Try eBay or salvage yard. I could be wrong, but I don't think there is a part number for that.

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So there is a pop up roll bar? It pops up if the car rolls or wrecks?

POST 13Original post

On the .1 cars you push the wiper stalk (as opposed to pulling for the windshield) to spray the headlights� not sure about the .2 cars though�

POST 14Original post

Quotes source post: 20749582

Same on the 996.2. Push the stalk. I've only ever done it while parked in the driveway or garage because those caps do fly off occasionally!

POST 15Original post

Yes. The pop up roll bar goes up if the car senses it is going to roll over or if the wheels leave the ground.
