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.

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.
