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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

If you have a 996 Targa you'll know that the little rubber piece that covers the rear glass' latch tends to degrade and fall apart. I designed a replacement piece that you can 3D print. Just make sure that you use PETG or ABS plastic so it doesn't melt when your car is sitting out in the sun. I'll probably get some filler primer and some matte black paint to make it match the rest of the trim, but I think it turned out pretty well. I don't know how much a genuine replacement costs, but it was a fun little exercise for me. smile.gif Download for FREE here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3287876 Enjoy!

POST 3Original post

This thread deserves a bump. Great idea. A few years ago I had a friend of mine make some early 911 door lock parts on his 3-D printer which unfortunately I did not save to share. Johan

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Let me know if you find the old 3D models. I'll be happy to reprint them for you!

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
