confused as to what needs to be filed down. A picture would help greatly. Also a picture showing the attachment points as I don't see a rear attachment there is a guide piece attached to the sunroof towards the rear of the car, and also a guide piece that is attached to the sunroof cable.

I don't have any pictures. As stated int he article, sounds like the cable end guide. I haven't done it so I can;t be more specific. I opened a post in our forums. A Pelican community member may be able to answer your question.


In addition to the removal of the felt, you also need to grind down the edges of the guide piece attached to the end of the cable. On the 964 cars, Porsche enlarged the diameter of the sunroof cable guides (the long pieces that run the length of the car). As a result, the guide piece for the 964 cable will not fit into the guide for the pre-1989 cars. You need to file down both the top and bottom edges of the guide piece on the cable until it fits smoothly into your sunroof guide. An alternative would be to upgrade to the later-style 964 guide pieces, but these are rather expensive to replace.

Here are a bunch of pictures from when I've had my sunroof out. Hope it helps.
