Maybe you can source the earlier version with no vents?

Go early..

I have thought up a slick Targa bar mod even Singer has yet to execute...will need a true metal smith to achieve.

The rear flange that the glass seal affixes to, shave it, roll edge under and add a minimal (ideally undetectable) glass seal that press fits underneath to the window.

..sayin' :)

Those vents are air extractors for the cabin FYI. The corresponding vents above the seat belt holders are where the air leaves the car. On non-targas, this vent is above the rear window. Don't hate me if you knew that, just making the point that they're more than just decoration. :)

^^^ Yup, get ready to blow the top off when you find that you need to slam the door to shut it.

I figured they were cabin pressure related. And thanks for photo fix. I have several vented ones. Any one in s.c.have a non vented targa bar ? 2 for 1swsp? I think they are too bulky to ship without costing more than they are worth.

Couch coach, did you ever get this figured out? I have a 964 Targa that I would love to have the metal, louvered bar on it. I don't know if it is a straight swap, but mine is (of course) the black 964 version with no vents. I'd swap them in a heartbeat if they were a direct swap. Shipping might potentially be prohibitive but it might be worht investigating.
