Hi Paul ,
Been watching your work with interest .
I have to remove my Targa roll bar cover shortly I can see the the Screws on the front side and know about the two undertneath on each side ,
are there any on the rear under the mastic ?
I'm having a new door jam and sill fitted and there are a couple of pin sized bubbles in the paint where the cover meets the upper rear wing
so I am getting the backend repainted especially after reversing into one our garden walls just an annoying scratch but a bit deep .
Sorry to here about your finger .

Hi Mike
There are 2 6ml studs on each side under the rear wings[on the o/s you will need to remove the
petrol fume filter] also remove the targa seal all of it and under there you will find a dozen or more self tapping
screws and lots of mastic.also by the studs there are 2 4ml studs which hold on the window seal strip these are
spire nuts.
good luck

Yes, 5 weird clip thingy's along the top, don't know about the bottom though. Maybe the fog lights reflectors come into play as well along with the dreaded mastic!

Thought so.
I meant to ask you last night - have you scrutinised the 'kidney bowl' area? If there is no obvious corrosion, it might be worth borrowing an endoscope just to make sure. It would be a great shame if you go to all this trouble without tackling the most common (but well hidden) structural corrosion area on any air-cooled 911. It will be much cheaper to get it repaired now, rather than at a later date (approx. £1,500 per side - it's a BIG job). If it is OK, make sure you spray plenty of heavy wax into the sill / 'B' pillar area when the paintwork is finished.

Paul if you looked at both the kidney bowls from the wing side on my car they both looked and felt solid it was only when the body shop cut out the wing door piller side that they found both were corroded badly, If you can get a small camera to the far side just to check them I would
