B Pillar Weather Strip DIY Removing side window seal Remove the side window seal with the convertible top open and the side window extended. To do this press the microswitch in the windscreen frame and actuate the rocker switch at the same time until the side window is completely extended. Pull the side window seal down and out of the window profile. Installing side window seal Remove adhesive residues from above and below the window profile if present. Pull the side window seal from below into the window profile. Pull it in using soapy water as a lubricant. Clean the upper seal end (free from grease and lubricant).

Factory HiFi Speakers Upgrade
melchior replied to ivass's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Be aware that the upgrade sound great but you will have to turn your stereo volume up higher to achieve the same level as before. What this means is that the factory amp is working harder thus sending more distortion to your speakers which will destroy them over time. Eventually you will need to add an aftermarket amplifier; especially since you will be putting in higher watt subs which draw an enormous amount of power. -
In-dash Spoiler (Tail) Switch Mod
melchior replied to Scouser's topic in DIY Articles - Carrera (996) - Mods
I did the mod and it worked great except the light tie-in with the PSM switch. It lights the spoiler switch up but when you turn PSM 'off' it turns the spoiler switch backlighting off and the backlighting doesn't come on when the lights are turned on; only once the car is started. I wonder if there is a different switch to tie into in order to get the backlighting to work?
