Was wondering if anyone could offer me advice with a small cosmetic issue I have with my 996 Targa .
One of the nylon 'curtains' that slide down the C pillar had become jammed so I've had to remove most of it to ensure the roof can still slide back. All that's left is the top channel with the pocket that has a cable running through it (it's the N/S one): http://www.scuderiacarparts.com/part/porsche/911-996-1998-carrera/99656291100/cover/130-471-19608-520280-124643.html
Has anyone got any experience of replacing these and if so how difficult is it to replace?
One specialist I spoke to suggested 16 hours labour (ie dropping the frame!), another a minimum of 6 as it's fiddly, given the cable needs to be threaded through. Is it DIY-able with modest skills?? Would rather spend a bag of sand on something more exciting than a curtain!
Thanks
Colin
