THANKS. I shall drive safely in order to avoid using the airbag until October 9th ;-)

I had to do the same here in California about 2 weeks ago. My remote died...went to a dealer, total cost was $305 USD (programming, key and control). Toolpants is there a way to remove the capsule from the old key? I found a very nice GT head that DID NOT work on my car due to the Capsule (pill, or little rock that encodes the car identlity?). SO I figured if I could remove the pill I could use any enclosure..any thoughts? PCBA is same size for both controls 97 (986) and 2004 (GT).

Normally when pulling out of parking space where there is a need to fully turn the steering wheel. I am sure while it is moving it does it. Let me verify today if it also happens when stopped. Thanks. > Confirmed that noise only happens when car is in motion. The noise is not there always. Today I did not hear it even when trying to duplicate the scenario. <_<

I dont have any record of the airbag being fixed. Let me do a double check with the previouse owner. I suppose a dealer has to look at it? any idea on the cost for the fix? Thanks.

When I steer to the right, turning the wheel completly a metal grinding noise begins. As soon as I retract a minimal angle from the steering the noise goes away. Only happens on the right side. Has anyone experienced this? ;) Thanks 986 2.5L 1997 manual 5 SPD

Recently I left my car in a valet in San Francisco. One they returned the car the airbag light was on. There is no sign of any damage on the vehicle. Is there any reason why the light should come on? or are there x,y & z reasons? My car is a 97 2.5L. No prior accidents based on the data I have on the car. Scherb

I have a thought of placing a stiff piece of metal along the top inside of the plastic window. I have made a short study (what else can I do besides watch the top opening/closing process and hear the nice vroom of these cars) and ~95% of the times the window folds incorrectly right in the middle. If I were to make sure I can keep the top area firm I think I can get away from the CHOP activity. Has anyone tried this before? Another finding in my analysis is that if it is a warm day. The plastic window has more chances of folding correctly... But to keep the window warm is much more difficult then to find a metal piece I shall try my idea and report. Alberto Scherb
