Hi All, My new-to-me C4s has a couple of minor issues with the convertible top. The interior dome light/top latch assembly popped off on me the other day, to reveal that one of the mounting bolts is missing. I can't find a part number anywhere-- does anyone have a reference #? It's about 1.25" long, hex head, with a pointed thread tip. One of the side guides is missing simply the rubber cap, which is scratching up the part that is attached to the windshield. My local porsche dealer, and my online searches haven't seemed to yield any results as to whether or not that rubber cap is sold separately or if I need to buy a complete new front centering piece ( 996-561-606-02). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

Try Pelican Parts. They have great photos and plans to figure out what you need. There may be other suppliers as well.
No luck at Pelican. My porsche dealer told me to bring the one bolt I have to the parts counter and they'll see if they can find one that matches in the back.

Go to Auto Atlanta web site, has the factory drawings and numbered parts/price list for each system.
Great piece of advice @Porschetech3 . Found the part number for the screw/bolt that attaches the cab interior dome light/top lock catch. For anyone else who may need to pull up this thread in the future, it is 999-073-166-09 / 99907316609, less than a buck from your nearest Pcar dealer.
