I'm pretty sure you remove it with the hard top and replace the fabric plug.

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.

First time Porsche owner. I recently bought a 2003 996 M6 cabriolet with under 57k miles and found these items in the glove box. I have looked around but haven�t seen any interior pieces missing. Any idea what they are? Thanks in advance.
The left side thingy is a �puncture guard� that is used to protect the fabric behind the hard top mounting holes when you mount the hard top.
There should be two .
Thanks, yes I have a seat that is missing one. Suggestions on parts suppliers that carry these? I see plenty on eBay but none specifically for the 996. Thanks.
Depending on the side (inboard vs. outboard), you need either this:

Got it and did a little searching on its placement. I only have one at the moment but this thing doesn�t seem like it will stay in place at speed. Is this supposed to remain in place with the hard top removed? I am missing the covers also which I am going to put on order.
Thanks,
John
Yes, the fabric plug covers the hole when the hard top is off. Mine stay in place fine with the top down. You're lucky you have the plastic guide in place. Do you have one for both sides? If not, you might want to order another one. Really helps not to puncture the fabric around the hole when mounting the hard top
I only have the one. It was in the center console so wasn�t sure what it went to initially. Yes I have another on order. Maybe with the cap (i have two of those on order also) inserted it would stay but as is I wouldn�t trust it with the top down if left in place.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
