red clip

i am still not sure about the price though..??$3.95??

$3.95 is about right as far as price goes for this tiny piece of red plastic... dealer probably wants more.

The shipping and handling will cost more than this from an internet source.

I should have gone in the clip business years ago.

I use to buy a bunch of them at a time to give to new local Boxster owners who showed up at our events. I was paying something like 50 cents per clip.

I thought Suncoast should be shot for asking $3.95, so I looked up the suggested retail price. It is $3.66 for that piece of plastic. I cannot believe Porsche jacked up the price that much.

Part number is 986 504 986 00. You can get it at any parts department.

Now for the trivia. If you order what option(s) what is the option that includes a red clip?

Hardtop? I believe it's so you don't accidentally try to raise your fabric top. But I thought the hardtop latches onto the latch area?

It does latch just as you said so there is no need for a clip with the hardtop option and the hardtop does not come with a clip.

It is 3 other options that come with the clip. I am not sure if 1 of the 3 is even an option anymore as it may have been discontinued.

Hint.

The Red Click is awesome! I have been using it for about 2 years and yes there is a small delay. Not sure about time, but probably a 30secs to 1 min after locking. I guess my sensor works better then most from what I can tell but as soon as I stick my hands in the car, even on the side door pockets area it starts going off like crazy.
Anyway Red Click Rocks!

Arrggh. I even tried googling it but have no idea. Definitely can't phone a friend. And since there's no 50/50, I'll guess Speedster humps and RTS...and that's my final answer.
