Hello,

996 C2 '99 Coupe

My drivers side overmat keeps slipping forward.

The velcro topped disc that attaches to the floor that hold the mat down keeps popping out of the hole. The 'self-tapping' thread on the disc doesn't seem to grip anymore when screwed in - I think the hole has been worn bigger?

I don't think it is the disc at fault, I have compared it from one on the passenger side.

Any tips or tricks to get it to stay put?

Regards,

Koenig

Doh!

Took the car to the car audio installers, showed them your answer, and they have solved the problem!

The trick is that the circuit is NOT made in the normal situation, but if the head unit is pulled out, the contact is MADE, causing the alarm to go off. Insulating tape on the side of the replacement units is the answer.

Many Thanks again.

Slit by the The Upbeats on tape sounds fantastic on the car stereo !!!

Loren.

Thanks for the quick reply. Great as always

Remind me where the donations box is?

Hello all,

I have just had a full new audio system installed, and am enjoying the quality of the Alpine Cassette / Tuner / CD Changer / iRiver input / Genesis amp / JL audio speakers.

The bass is far more punchy, treble no longer pulls my ears off, and MUCH louder without distortion.

I have kept the Porsche headunit , Cd changer and speakers intact

A minor question though - Since the CDR22 has been removed, the central locking system now flashes the lights twice and the horn beeps once. From the Porsche manual, this means the alarm is telling me that the radio alarm is not set. Well, that would be because the radio is gone.... I don't think it is the storage tray or the doors.

This may not be a problem, but I am not sure from the manual description that the passenger compartment sensor may be off.

The question then is does anyone know how to short out / fix the contacts on the wiring loom to stop the control unit missing the radio?

I can then advise the car audio workshop what to do about it.

Thanks for any help.

Koenig

Loren,

You sir are a gentleman.

Many thanks.

Hello,

I would like to do this - How about a 'How to replace the trunk release levers guide'?

Good tip on the protective film!

Problem now solved!

It was the passenger seatbelt buckle rattling against the hard back seat!

You can tell I'm a new boy here.

Hello,

New boy from Middle England here,

The passenger seat on my '99 C2 Coupe rattles when on uneven roads.

It seems to come from the top area of the seat.

The release lever seems looser on the Passenger side than on the drivers side.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks,

Koenig
