These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello All, I am hoping there is someone that can help me. I have a 2000 996 911 Cab with the hardtop. When I went to install it, I realized it is missing a part that I will call the bullets. I have attached a picture. my top has all of the black part but not the silvery part, it just has threads at the end. Does anyone have these silver threads or no where I could get them? Maybe someone has a badly damaged top, etc. Steve

You might try a Porsche dismantler. (Partsheaven, DC Auto or Weekend Rides)

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, Sent messages to all three

POST 5Original post

Your top has the updated hold downs. They screw into updated receivers. These were updated/changed by Porsche ~MY 2005 to eliminate noise. You should consider buying the redesigned receivers for your car rather then backdating the bayonets on the top. Try EBay or ?? This is the whole retrofit kit. https://www.*************.com/product/PK997HTM.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqIjo9bq-1wIVTTuBCh397QQxEAQYASABEgLUQ_D_BwE It looks like Pelican blocks competing?? Retailers. That link was to Suncoast Porsche. Google for “Porsche 996 hardtop installation kits” or “Hardtop receiver mounts kit #pk997htm”

POST 6Original post

Has that top ever been mounted on your car? If so the whole system may have been updated. Check the receivers in the car.
