I say that every morning, I tell ya.
Coming back to the speedster humps and tops.
Absolutely no problem keeping the top down for months...seems to preserve it even.
Now my problem: While getting the speedster humps ready...I noticed a crack in one of those black thingamagics (s. pic; plastic holder piece, no idea what it is called)
Does anyone know, where to get new ones or have a part number?

Hi Bran,
I found this part number in the Tequip PET. The PET says only one needed but maybe it means one per side. Also found a newer part number (ending in 01 instead of 00) during my search.

Fantastic find, Fred!
Thank you, you saved my day/summer

It's a pretty bad crack.

Went for a fantastic track day at Alastaro Circuit Finland with Porche Racing Club Finland to collect myself approval for a track racing licence -> few races lined up for this summer 😎

Got word that my CLU is repaired and on it's way back to me. Looking forward to working windows, fobs, alarm and the rest of the electrical gremlins going away etc.

Swapped in a used engine this weekend. Have some idling issues I posted about in a other thread, but excited to feel it move under its own power again.
