Can someone please tell me how to access this hydraulic fluid thing, Is it behind the rear seats? how do I access it?


On the 996 you access it from the compartment that holds the roof when its down, but on the 997 it looks like it's accessed from behind the rear seats?

unless it's under the mat that is back there I have not seen anything like that when cleaning the top storage area.

 

Just spoke to the dealer, turns out it is different to the 996 setup, they said its accessible from behind the rear seats so I assume the carpet bit behind here needs to be removed - anyone done this before? Difficult?

 

Anyone know how to access this in a 997?

 

Have you tried lowering the top to the maintenance position and checking there? I know there is a carpeted area, I sometimes vacuum the stuff out from there, but unsure what is under the carpet.

 

That's the 996 method, apparently the 997 method is access from the carpet behind the rear seats... Im going to give it a go soon but wanted to know how its done so I don't break any clips trying to get it off the wrong way..

 

Ok, I looked at a Porsche manual on Workshop-manuals.com - 911 Carrera S Cabriolet (997) F6-3.8L (2007) - and under Body/Frame in the Interior Moulding/Trim section there is a section on the Rear Shelf on page 4445. It seems vague to me but...
