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.

Can anybody confirm that a 1999 996 hardtop will fit on a 2004 convertible without mods? My 1999 911 was washed out in IAN but I have the hardtop. I am looking a 2004 convertible without a hardtop. Thanks in advance
Your Hardtop from the 99 has the old type of hardware for attaching at the rear. A 2004 may have the newer (and better) type of hardware. Not sure what year the hardware was updated. But a few years ago, the hardware was not too expensive, but it has become much more expensive..
My 04 has the old style lock down, so yes it is possible.
thanks for the reply.
You need to check to see if your 04 has the mounts in the car. Mine didn't. I needed to buy mounts when I bought my hardtop.
was that a big deal? where did you buy them
There are some listed on ebay....there could be more but I just pulled these up for $225: https://www.ebay.com/itm/18575764800...Bk9SR-ryo7TaYQ I purchased mine from DC Auto but not sure if they have any in stock currently: www.dcauto.com
It isn't bad to do. You need to remove the rear rollbar cover. Here is the link on how to do it. https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...t-a-997-a.html
I'll give it a try when I get back to FLA
Just to check which style lock downs or if you have any, you can pull the plugs and shine a flashlight and then you know which and if you need to remove the cover to install.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
