911 Carrera Targa F6-3600cc 3.6L SOHC (1996)
Note:
It is recommended that after repairs are completed in areas # 2 and # 3, water tests be performed. For this, the wind deflector must be installed. If
water leaks are still present, the sealed areas can be reworked. As an additional procedure, the roof frame in the front can be sealed from the inside.
Proceed as follows:
-
Remove the outside bolt for the roof module on the windshield frame (arrow figure 6) and the first bolt for the glass roof guide rail behind the wind
deflector.
-
Dry out the roof frame completely using compressed air. Force sealer (part number 999 915 400 40) through the outer bolt hole of the roof frame
until it emerges from the guide rail bolt hole.
-
Reinstall both bolts and allow the sealer to cure for 8 hours at room temperature. Only after this time should a water test be performed.
Area # 4
Water entry on the air deflector
Possible cause:
Insufficient pressure on the air deflector seal by the air deflector. The lip of the side seals (left and right) touches the bracket ends of the air deflector.
Repair:
-
Adjust the air deflector as follows:
With the air deflector open, loosen the left and right holding nut (arrow 1, figure 7). Adjust the air deflector within the elongated slots so that in the
closed position the deflector places a light preload on the seals.
The air deflector must be even with the glass roof and the side trim after adjustments. Tighten the left and right holding nuts to 5.5 Nm (4 ft lb).
