2003 C2 Cabriolet 6spd
is the bumper same for all 2002+ C2 cars be it cab or coupe?
thx...

Is it easy to remove rear window in a 2003 C2 Cabriolet or impossible? Thinking of getting it tinted due to the insane heat wave we been having and would rather tinting is done with the window removed.
thanks...
-
yup, already replaced it. thanks!!!
-
Anybody knows if the boxster DIY instructions i have apply same way to 996 also?
-
Building on a great idea, here is a slight enhancement. So that I could change the battery and use the opener elsewhere, I incorporated the use of a mini-phonejack.
Also added the tail switch.
Got the switches from the great guys at Sunset Porsche (1-800-346-0182). Jeff Clark was a great help.
BTW - Does anyone know where I can get the connectors for these switches like the ones on the harness???
i did the same thing, but my remote has such a lame range, that it cant get the signal through when its inside the glove box. i will be moving it into the A-pillar tomorrow -- hopefully it will give me a better range.
-
I don't own a cab and have never taken one off. I suspect it comes off the same as the coupe - by pulling towards the rear of the car.
but it just seems like that piece where sun visor clips into was stopping it. it has some wires going to it also (i think its +12v for sun visor lights)
but you could be right. i might just not have pulled hard enough - was afraid to break it of course.
-
Have a little patience some cab owner will likely help you out...
heh... patience? whats that? :P
anyways, i put things back together. hopefully somebody knows the answer. you telling me you dont? oh no, my world is collapsing. my hero has fallen. :-) :-) :-)

HELP. SOS. I cant remove the trim that goes between the dome lights and a-pillar. it looks like the hook where sun visors clip-in is firmly in place. dont want to break it. any suggestions? please? pretty please? i look retarded sitting my car all taken apart in the driveway :)
-
Just did it. Added some wires and got 30 yards out of it.
I did the write up here:
hey alex, what gauge wire did you use? thx...
-
Why not just tap it into the dome light? Use a voltemeter to figure
out which wire is switched. See also:

Note, there are several other resources on the web with a description.
do cabriolets have a switched power in the dome light or only coupes with a sunroof?
-
I think all of that has been covered here if you use search ;)
I an not sure what trim under the steering wheel you are talking about... the big piece is of part of the whole dash and doesn't come out (unless you remove the whole dash).
heh... working for an internet search company you'd think i out of all people would have a clue.
a-pillar: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=4958
air vens: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...amp;#entry14785
the only thing i am not sure about is the trim which goes from dome light to the a-pillar.

its a 2003 C2 cabriolet. i want to remove:
* driver side a-piller (i think this one is simple - two torx screws by sunvisor?)
* driver side air vent cover (how do i remove light switch?)
* trim that goes from interior light switch to driver side a-piller
* trim under steering wheel? (where your knees touch)
basically i want to run the V1 cable under all these items instead of trying to tuck it into them (not as clean of an install as i'd like)
-
A few months later our local group is filming a silver trim swap and spoiler switch install on Armand's C4S for the DIYer DVDs.
is the DVD out yet? would love to buy it.

So, if you've got a sim card tray in a PCM 2 unit which either stays in or stays out, you'll need a new sim card tray. You can order a new one by contacting Becker direct and asking for your local becker parts reseller. In the UK, its around £20 plus VAT.
hi tim.
so what does it give you? as far as i understand, you can insert a SIM card into a PCM system which shows you your address book and allows you to dial in/out using the car as the phone, right?
the only problem i see with that is it might get annoying to remove/insert your SIM card in/out of the phone every time you get into the car - right?

i got something called denaturated alcohol - would it work or is it too strong? thx...
