Help with Part Number
 
I'm trying to determine the part number for the 'Hardtop Connector Kit' that the hardtop (and Speed Humps) connect to. There is a 'part' on each side of the car, which looks like it is removable. One of my connectors broke, and I want to replace it, but don't know:

a. What to call it.
b. Where I would find it.

I tried searching the part catalog here, and when I look at 'Hard Top Bolt', I see a picture, which I THINK has the part (#18 in the picture), but not sure.

Wayne, any thoughts on what it might be, and if so, do you carry it?

TIA,
Mark

Nobody has any thoughts on this part number, or where I might find it?

I've got an article here on the installation where I mention the part numbers:

Pelican Technical Article: Installing the Boxster Hardtop and Installation Kit - 986 / 987

Just punch the part numbers into our search engine and they will come up.

Quote:

When you purchase your hardtop, it's almost always missing the front and side cover trim pieces which snap on to cover up the latch mechanisms. The part number for the top piece is 986-563-551-00 (1997-04), 987-563-551-00 (2005-08) and it costs about $17. The part numbers for the two side pieces for the 1997-04 cars are 986-563-553-00 and 986-563-554-00 and cost about $13 each (987-563-553-00-A03 and 987-563-554-00-A03 for 2005-08).

Thanks Wayne. The problem is, the part that 'broke' on my car (previous owner tried to close the top with the Speed Humps on it), is the 'housing' that holds those parts. It looked like the housing bolted on, but maybe not, based on these 2 parts shown here. I'm going to re-look at it, and see what I can figure out. It may not be a part that can be 'bolted' on.
