need help locating dumb, insignificant part
hey guys and gals,
I need help finding a part. It is part # 911 555 757 40, described as a black plastic cap (cover) for the emergency control for the Cabriolet top. It is listed for $1.00 on Pelican, but is NLA.  obviously, this is just a cosmetic issue...but I'm trying to get this thing as dialed in as possible.  So if anybody has a line on one of these plastic thingamabobbers, I'd appreciate the hook-up.

Do you have a pic of what it looks like? Or a pic of the "hole"?
It's possible you could find something suitable at a really good hardware store. Ive found lots of interior trim bits/ colored screws etc. at my local hardware store.

I've found some similar plugs at Lowe's. Might get you by until you find the right one.

NLA Part
I have had success finding NLA parts at Porsche dealerships. Doesn't hurt to try.

I would like to say intelligence, but I think dumb luck. I ended up entering the name per the parts catalog into the search box. I recently ordered mine. Should be here this weekend.

dude, I spent about 30 minutes looking through our host's online catalog...only to find a different part number for a part listed as NLA. Duh.
Intelligence, dumb luck, whatever. You da man. Here's the part where I rat you out. This was your 1st and 2nd post. I don't remember you posting any pix of your ride?

Kidrock - you got me good. I have been lurking for a few weeks. I just purchased a 1989 Carrera Cabriolet. I will post pictures soon. I am already busy replacing detail items like the piece you were looking for.

RW,
