Thanks, Loren. That’s correct, I have item number 5. The plates look the same however mine only have one bolt, as the other is in the ski carrier itself. I managed to get hold of the manual, it is for the Cayenne but it’s the same part. There are only a few pictures and no mention on how to tighten the internal plate, in fact it only says to tighten the external one. I have taken a couple pictures of the bolts: https://imgur.com/gallery/ZqkHm Thanks:)

Hello everyone from a new and very happy 996 4 owner :) Given the remarkable performance of the car in snow I have decided to purchase some roof bars and ski racks and I am now having some troubles in installing them. I bought a set of OEM bars which were never fitted by the previous owner and which I have installed with no hassle. The ski carrier, which I believe is part 95504400024, came with no box nor fitting instructions, and I can't figure out how to properly secure it to the bars. The ski carrier is fastened to the bar by the means of two metal plates, which slide in the bar and, I suppose, need to be tightened once in place. The external plate can be fastened by tightening the internal bolt with the supplied allen key, while the one on the other side can only be fastened by turning the plate itself, as the internal bolt is integral with the ski carrier. I have tried to slide the carrier in with the internal bolt as tight as possible, however, even after tightening the allen bolt, the carrier doesn't seem to be as tight as it should. The previous owner cannot help as he claims the carriers belonged to his late dad and the local Porsche dealer has no clue as he claims it is too old... Anyone who has experience with these ski holders? Thanks in advance for any help!
