I am moving to Brisbane in a few months and bringing my beloved 997 (and family). To help make the compliance checks as smooth as possible I plan to expose the top tethered mounts in readiness, which involves cutting the carpet. Related posts suggest that there is a perforated outline to cut out but I can't find this for the life of me. I would be grateful if someone who has done this before (or has them cut out) could give me the dimensions from the rear quarter interior trim to the centre line of the mount, and maybe confirm the width of the standard cut out. I am trying to avoid having the remove the quarter panels to rear the chunk of carpet behind the Bose. See distances marked in red on the attached. I have also attached a photo of my 997 as means of an introduction. Thanks in advance. Tom

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.

Haha thank you! Did you find the perforated line or just go for it!
I managed to find the line from memory. It was a long time ago though so my memory is hazy. It'll come back to me when I take a look at it. I think I pressed down to find it.
So I forgot my login details and then got busy this week ... anyway Large man getting in the back of a 997 doesn't equal greatest results but here we go: Grr - can't upload the rest here - moving them offsite. So based on the photos its about 170mm from the side wall following the fold.
That is perfect, thanks very much! It is such a shame we have to butcher the carpet to do this! One more question… What is the snot dripping out of your vent? I have exactly the same thing and never figured it out?
No idea - never noticed it till I took these photos for you
I did it on my 997 too - good news when you push the carpet back and vacuum you can’t even tell!
Thanks for your help guys, all done and ready to ship! Flying out next week, just waiting for a space on a boat for the 997 to follow. Cheers
