What?
Oh Mike, stop, this is mad enough. Please don't tell me any more.
I don't want to discover I'm somewhat lacking in regard to rubber plugs.

Here's a quandary; when did they change to the domed plastic style which is all that you can get from Porsche?

I checked Andrea's thread and the plugs with the concentric circles (17 if you are interested) were replaced with the smooth topped type with the G model but you know, Paul's car being a kinda crossover model, early 74 production chassis number and all, he could have had the earlier type.
Have you no period close up photos of your rubbers ?
Correct early concentric ring type,
Regards
Mike

And mine has been done superbly. I'm delighted with the result.

I too can vouch for the quality of these headliners, we just fitted one in a RHD 73S we are restoring, and have sold a few with good feedback. If anyone needs one urgently, we have SR and Non-SR in stock

Hi
I noted on the headliner installation that it was glued directly to the painted metal, on 356's the headliner is glued onto a linen which is glued around the frame first, I think the linen sticks to the car better than the headliner material directly and the headliner sticks to the linen, if you see what I mean, anyway I put a liner in my friends 2.2 and I thought that had the linen trick, did 911's feature linen and if so when did it finish, I am working on a '73 car and will go for one of those headliners, thanks Bill.

Has accuracy gone out of the window/sunroof as this should surely be a metal or narrow nylon type zipper?

Just in time for the forecast snow
Still looking lovely. Is there anything on this car that has not been replaced or restored, and is as it collected it. Do you have a picture of the ignition key perhaps !
