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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Underneath the rear parcel shelf there are a couple of metal shelves that have relays etc attached to the underneath. The two shelves are held down to the chassis by at least five 10mm nuts that screw down onto threaded posts sticking upwards. In the middle area on each side of the two shelves though there are two sunken areas with small holes that I would presume fit over some more threaded posts (possibly missing) or may be are there for screws to screw down through. Only problem is whatever is meant to be there is missing, can anyone please help and advise what is meant to be there..? Thanks!!

POST 2Original post

That's where there should be the main support brace for the rear of the chassis. It stops the car from snapping in 2!!! Only kidding. I've just looked at a few photos and they all look like that.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Alex, just seen your VERY small response. I had a Google myself but couldn't see any close-ups. There is a plastic frame/arm below those two metal shelves which have two long cylindrical holes in them directly below the two holes in the shelves - as if logically they're there to accept a screw or like I thought maybe a threaded bar. I just assumed threaded bars would screw into the holes in the plastic frame below and then the metal shelves would then bolt down onto the bar. As it is they're just flapping about a bit, cant understand why they wouldn't be fixed down....? Very un-Porsche like!

POST 4Original post

I'll send a photo of mine later as it is uncovered at the moment. MC

POST 5Original post

It could be like that for something on a different model, eg. a support mount for a roll cage, etc. :dont know:

POST 6Original post

Very flimsy piece of metal, nothing structural. MC

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks MC, much appreciated. ...I wonder why therefore they bothered drilling the holes, perhaps there is a different model/spec that utilizes them....?

POST 8Original post

Took those 2 metal plates off mine recently when i was doing wiring for cruise control and mine is the same 2 holes with nothing in them. I also thought the same as you' is there something missing lol. Carl

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ha ha, thanks Carl, at least it isn't me then. Got to wonder why then there are the holes in the plates and also the corresponding holes in the plastic frame below for them to fix into. These kind of things bug me. Anyway, case closed.

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