  1. Problem with getting air through the rear tubes is that you can't get anything down the runners to reach the tube. Maybe I need to look at how to remove the fabric trim covering the rear of the runners.
  2. Well I tried to tackle this over the weekend but ahd to admit defeat. I was right about about the glass frame as I managed to detach it from the drive mechanism but I just couldn't manoeuvre it out of the car. I didn't want to push my luck so put it all back together and its all working as it should. I decided to test the drain tubes on the whole roof module. I noticed that there was no water dripping out on the side inquestion so chances are the the drain tube is blocked and water is ending up in the car. If I remove the rear PU will I be able to see the drain tube outlets so I can try unblocking them?
  3. Received the seal today. Its got a drain hole towards the front corners too. Hopefully I'll get time over the weekend to get stuck into this rear drain tube Top of rear drain tube Front drain hole
  4. Well I've ordered the seal from Porsche, it costs £223 and their system in the dealership shows them the correct picture with the drain tubes of the seal shown where as anything online does not. The part number is 99656245501. I am going to undo the 8 bolts which hold the 4 mounting plates to the roof panel frame, this is only the sliding portion of the targa. I will not be disturbing the roof filler panel in front of the glass panel nor will I be undoing any of the sliding mechanism. Thats the plan anyway. If I am successful I will post loads of pics and do a nice write up as its a forum first. If I fail you shall never hear from me again :oops:
  5. I've done this on old VWs with hardly any electrics. As this is a modern car crammed full of electrics all communicating tot he ECU I'm sure there will be a few things to change electrics wise. I'm pretty sure some engine gubbins such asthe intake system are also different. I reckon the list of parts to change over will get very long very quickly. Thats my guess anyway :)
  6. as you can see from my pics there is no drain to clean as its fallen off. I tried calling my two nearest OPCs for prices on the seals but could not get hold of their parts departments. I've been reading over the repair manual again and I'm pretty certain the the glass panel and frame will come clean off the car by undoing the bolts highlighted. I am also going to get a quote from the main dealer for changing the seals to determine whether or not its worth the savings in doing it myself.
  7. I had this on my C4S. Luckily it was the brake light switch which cost me around £10 from the main dealer and took me a couple of minutes to replace. If I were you I would try this first as its such a cheap and easy potential fix.
  8. I've searched and searched but can't find anything on 996 Targa's. Can someone help?
  9. Hi All, I'm fairly new here and hoping someone has the technical knowlwedge I need to potentially fix the intermittent leak I have on my Targa. Basically we have had a few days of heavy rain and the result was a puddle under the rear driver's side seat (UK car). I had the chance to investigate a little more today. There are drain tubes on either side of the glass panel. Problem is that the drain tubes are part of the lower weather seal which surrounds the whole glass panel frame. I've attached pics of the damaged drain tubes, I think I can tackle this issue myself without upsetting the mechanism settings but need some confirmation. See drain tube circled. It is part of a seal which runs round the top of the metal frame indicated by the blue bits this is a pic of the drain tube on the other side. It is damaged too however it is much longer so manages to chanel the water correctly Can the glass panel and frame be lifted off the car by removing the circled bolts on both sides without disrupting the mechanism?
