Hi, Long shot but I recently purchased a 991.1. My son has a wheelchair which when dismantled can fit in the boot but leaves no room for anything else. Does anyone have the RTS bars for the 991 surplus to requirements that I could fit for longer journeys?

I would suggest you keep an eye on ebay. I got mine there for £150 vs the £460 they are new. You should be able to get at least 10% off the new cost though.
Having transported my late mother to regular hospital visits, her wheel chair when folded used to fit in the back with the seats down. I could never have got it into the frunk.
When the roof bars are fitted there is a significant gap between them so you would need to add a platform to add a wheelchair.
BTW. If you go to a dealer, don't expect them to know how to fit them! I enquired first before buying as I could not see an obvious way. I even asked Porsche GB who were equally useless and just told me to ask a dealer. In the end I found a video on Youtube from a Canadian Porsche Centre who showed howed to fit them. FYI, the ends of the rubber seal on the edge of the roof lift up. A tool supplied with the bars makes this simple. Then two little pegs are rotated up for the bars to mount to. The bars don't actually sit on the roof.
