Motion Sensor Question (Red clip doing its job?) - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

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.

Very good.

If you buy the humps or RTS you get a "free" red clip.

Also came with the tonneau cover, but I think Posche got rid of this oprion when the car was made and as a retrofit kit, years ago.

The clip was designed to keep the stupid owners from operating the top. But we use it for the interior motion detector.

Toolpants:
The little red clip came at no extra charge with the factory tonneau cover.
Which is a good thing, since you should get something useful for your $1295.00.
Ask me how I know.

Actually, I bought one off Ebay for about $150, but even at that it was no bargain.
I think I was overcome with nostalgia after having had any number of British roadsters where a tonneau was an indispensable accessory.

A convertible top that goes up or down in 12 seconds makes a tonneau superfluous.

My first car when I was 16 was a Sunbeam Alpine. I had a tonneau and used it. Kept the rain out when the car was parked.

The price you mention for the Box tonneau as an option sounds right - very expensive. In 6 years I have only seen 1 car that had it as a factory option.

When Porsche got rid of it a few years ago I picked one up for $45, new in the box. Still in the box.

Pic from Tom S. I put my humps on his tonneau a few years ago and took pics but I cannot find them.
