It seems that the 996 coupe have the anchor points under the rear carpet, that can easily be cut open to reveal the tether points.
What about the convertible? Are the anchor points for the baby seat installed already? How do I get them out?
I am still on the hunt for a baby seat the Clek Fllo that was recommended to me doesn’t fit my cabriolet rear seats
I removed the back panel but nothing stands out as a latching point for the tether line.
Any suggestion? Can I anchor directly in one of those aluminum flat parts?
Hello - I was able to find the below info from an older thread - this was referenced for a 997, but I would assume this is also the case for 996s:
If you are in the USA the cars do not have the anchors installed from the factory. You have to go to the dealer. There is a kit that includes the anchors as well as the air bag shut up switch,--all must be installed at the dealership.
Thanks.
I am aware of the kit for the front seat, that bolts in the base of the seat rails and requires a software programming as it switches off the passenger airbag if the baby seat is buckled in. The rear seats have no airbag, so I am wondering if what you reference above is related to te front seat kit.
I have 2 kids seats(ages 5 & 7) in the back seats of my 996 Targa using the anchor points in the rear as you mentioned. I also have the seat belts through the kids seats.
Your only option might be the seat belts going through the child seat itself, or wrapping the tether around an object behind the seats(do it yourself anchor point).
I have a 2008 997.1 turbo cabriolet, and I desperately need the answer to this same question! I've tried looking here, 6speed, pistonheads, etc. and now answers on whether the cabs have any kind of anchor in the back seat. Does anyone here know? If I can't put a seat back there, I'm going to have to sell the car...
I did find this part: 997-803-721-00 which is available here:
https://www.gaudinporscheparts.com/o...waArGoEALw_wcB
Does PP also sell it?
Does anyone know if this works, if I need any other parts to install it? If I have to cut wholes in the carpet piece behind the rear seat backs / in front of the rollover bars?
I'm attaching three pics here: one of my rear seats folded down with the carpet covering the rollover bars removed - I don't see any anchor points back there.
For comparison, another forum member years ago in a non-usa car shows the picture of his rear carpet section with square cutouts, and behind the cutouts, what looks like a silver metal anchor point. Can I order that carpet panel with the square cutouts? Did some cars have the anchors and others didn't from the factory? Is the part I linked to above the correct one for adding rear anchors?
Thanks so much in advance!
