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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, i just got the carbon fibre kit for my 996. I have changed all parts except the centre console and need help to remove the tiptronic gear shift so i can remove the entire centre console. I also need to change the mirrors, can anyone help advise me how to do this?? Can anyone help??

POST 2Original post

Drop me an email and I'll attach the instructions to a reply. Do you want to change the mirror glass/cover, or take the mirror off the door completely? Edit: You don't need to remove the whole thing to change the glass or the front cover.

POST 3Original post

A quick tip - put some tape around the base of the gearshift knob before you remove it so when you refit it it sits back at the same point. I did mine, it was very easy took about 5 mins. Post some piccy's when you have finished [8D]
