I've replaced one of the wind deflector locks on my 2000 S. That moving clip has a snap-in design, so you carefully snap the old one out, then align and snap the new one back in. The part that snaps in place is the shaft that it rotates around. It's harder to describe than it is to actually do.
One of the pieces attached to the hoops that they clip into is broken as well. There's an extremely thin piece of plastic inside it that puts pressure on the mechanism, attempting to prevent it from rattling, and that's broken off. I have a new one, but I'll have to remove the hoop pad, then drill out a rivet to replace it. One day I'll get it done, for now a bit of foam stuffed in there stops the rattle.
For a generally well-made car, Porsche really skimped on this part. It's entirely too flimsy to actually be used. Are the newer ones any better?
