2005 is when they made the change to screw type (some earlier cars were changed under a noise abatement TSB).

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey everyone, I was just given a hard top by someone that used to own a 2000 mk1 and I plan to use it on my 2004 mk2. The top part numbers are the same (996-563-911-00-GRV), but someone told me on the Facebook 996 rennlisters page that the mounting posts and recievers may be different. Does anyone know if this is true before I call around? It'll need to be painted from silver to seal grey metallic, but I couldn't pass it up since it was free! They also gave me a windscreen that I'll probably sell to help pay for the paint work since I bought a new one a couple years ago. Thanks! Phil

POST 2Original post

Take pics of the top and the receiver. There are pointed ones and flat. You can buy new pins for the hard top if they don't match. The 2004 definitely has the new mounts but the top may have the old ones.

My 2004 has the old style bayonet mounts. Some late 2004s might have the screw type mounts. 2005 is when they made the change to screw type (some earlier cars were changed under a noise abatement TSB). That is also when Hardtops became optional equipment. At one time a screw type kit was made available for a couple hundred $. Now a complete change is ~$1,000. If either the top or car has screw type hardware change the other to screw, they don�t rattle.

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