I saw something on ebay and it's a OEM Porsche alarm clip for convertible. Do anybody know what is it for and how it works?

Try "little red clip" & see the magic

Thanks for the photo. How does it work? Do you need any installation?

the clip tells the car that the top is in locked mode and activates the interior motion detector so if you stick your hand inside the car with the clip on it trips the alarm.

Great idea. I don't leave the top down unless I'm at a resturant where I can keep an eye out, but that doesn't mean I can watch it every second.

Some people spray paint them black so they are hard to see when installed. I'm thinking that if anyone knows what the red clip does they will be more apt to see red than black. Hence, I left mine red!

Works like a champ...

Just snapped mine in place today.

I could not leave my car with the top down without it.
