Not yet.

His ebay deal does not have the velcro straps for the rollbar in the pic. The only velcro he knows is for the storage bags. He has the new style factory humps with the vinyl storage bags and there are velcro strips to close the bag.

The original style had cloth padded storage bags. Also velcro strips to close the bag, but in a different location.

I have installed the old and new style factory humps.

Here are the velcro straps not shown in his ebay picture. He is talking about velcro for the storage bags. Not the velcro straps for securing the humps to the rollbar.

But he just deleted the Porsche part number from the auction.

Might be fake humps. Made in China.

They always wait for the great ones to fail.

I never doubted you, TP.

Ditto on TP

I will never doubt the great TP again. I bought the car with a hard top and the humps and never knew about the missing straps and was never told. So, I assumed that what I received was it. I humps fit fine and even though now I see where the straps go on I made the mistake by trusting the third party selling me the car. The humps have the porsche part number on back the there are made in Germany.
Maybe at this time TP could help me fix my problem with a busted latch that holds the center wind deflector (sorry for not knowing the correct part names). I was doing about 115mph on the highway when the center wind deflector started to rattle. I quickly slowed down in fear of loosing it and when I got home I notice that the latch (passenger side) that helps hold in place the deflector wasn't securing it. And when I remove the center piece a small plastic broke off of the latch. Can I remove this latch from the roll bar without taking the entire roll bar padding off? I can wiggle it but I don't want to force anything before I know that I won't do more damage.

I've seen posts here and Renntech that state that replacement latches can be purchased through a dealer parts counter. If you do some searching I bet you can find those threads with the parts numbers embedded within.

old part number but some direction on how clip is installed (pop rivet gun).

Revised clip part number
