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

Can someone confirm for me whether 996 and 997 seat rails are identical? Background is that I purchased some 997 sports seats that got damaged in shipping. Specific damage was the handle that allows the seat to slide back and forth (the metal piece that goes under the seat). In looking at pictures and in reading a few other posts, it seems that the rails are the same. If anyone can confirm, I'd appreciate it. (the 996 rails seem to be really easy to come by and much cheaper)

POST 2Original post

Not sure but they look similar. Try contacting Suncoast or a used part place. Or put a post in the Racing section........those guys should know.

POST 3Original post

I had installed a set of 997 GT3 sports seats in 996 Turbo. They fit perfectly.

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