    The long threaded section at the bottom left hand corner is an interference fit into some soft plastic bushes in the roll-bar ie yes, it holds the padding on and yes, you remove the padding by prying it off with a soft upholstery tool. That is how the pop-rivets look before they are 'popped'. Clip on, rivets in place, apply rivet gun, 'pop' - pulls out expander.

    Holes were pre-drilled in both the roll-hoops and the padding.

    Finally found my rivet gun, so here's the installation: 1. Lever off the padding with a plastic lever to avoid scratching up the paint. There are M5 studs in the back of the padding which press into nylon inserts in the roll-hoops. They're pretty firm, but will budge with enough brute force. 2. Rivet the upper brackets in place, using the supplied rivets with the expander protruding from the end. It may be worth having the screen clipped into position, to make sure everything's lined up. 3. Rivet the centre bracket to the inside of the centre roll-bar padding, using the closed-off rivets. There should be holes pre-drilled into the padding. Don't spend hours trying to drill holes into the roll-bar like I did. 4. Press everything back into place and voila! All this ought to take less than half an hour: that's about £100 saved from the local Porsche dealership.

    Thanks - I'll try and get it done later on during the week.

    I understand they're pretty much the same as for the 986, just a different profile to be difficult.

    Have just gone out and bought a windstop kit to retrofit to my 987. Is there a quick and easy way to get the roll-bar padding off, or is it just a question of giving it a hard tug? I don't want to break anything...
