Talking I Made A Thing (for a 996 Targa)

If you have a 996 Targa you'll know that the little rubber piece that covers the rear glass' latch tends to degrade and fall apart. I designed a replacement piece that you can 3D print. Just make sure that you use PETG or ABS plastic so it doesn't melt when your car is sitting out in the sun. I'll probably get some filler primer and some matte black paint to make it match the rest of the trim, but I think it turned out pretty well.

I don't know how much a genuine replacement costs, but it was a fun little exercise for me. smile.gif

Enjoy!

This thread deserves a bump. Great idea. A few years ago I had a friend of mine make some early 911 door lock parts on his 3-D printer which unfortunately I did not save to share.

Let me know if you find the old 3D models. I'll be happy to reprint them for you!
