Trivia. You got the red clip if you ordered what options for a 986.
Hi,

ANSWER: The Speedster Rear Option - Code: XAB...

The Red Clip was originally designed and intended to prevent accidental closing of the Top while the Speedster Humps were installed and was originally only available as part of that XAB Option Kit.

The Fact that it also falsely signaled the Alarm Control Module that the Top was in the Closed Position was incidental and resulted in energizing the Infared Passenger Compartment Monitor when the Car was locked...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Humps is one option. There are others.

Hi,

I believe that it is also used with the Hardtop and the Roof Rack System...

No to hardtop, yes to roof rack. There is 1 option left, and it was a very uncommon option.

That's it. In the last years of the 986 this option was deleted by Porsche. I have seen only one local 986 (a 1999) that had it as a factory option.

Doesn't seem to work
very well, I mean the sensor.

Is there a way to strengthen the "eye"?

I can lock my car, then wave my hand all around in the interior and the alarm will not go off.
