What is this part for?
Can someone tell me what this is for? So far, I've used it as an iPad holder, but it must have some other purpose?

WOW! It does fit in there, thanks!
Weird that it's just kind of hanging out there. Do you guys actually drive around with the manual in there?

I took mine off - the manual wouldn't fit. Manual rides in the storage cubby behind the seats.

Fits like a glove!
But I don't like having the manual rattling around in there.
Maybe I'll keep the manual in the zipped box over the engine and leave this for the iPad.

my manual is made of paper, no rattles...
should be easy to remove the shelf, i think it's just a couple of screws.
the only time it's been awkward is when i was pulled over and had to tell the cop my car's registration was between my legs...

Porsche didn't put a normal "glove box" on the passenger side until late in the 986 run, model year 2003. The bracket was put there for the owner's manual, state registration cert., etc.

I took the manuals out of the case and they now reside on the bookshelf in the house. I put my essential drivers docs in the case, registration, insurance, tire warranty, battery warranty etc.

Because of this thread, I ordered FREE maps from AAA, relevent for my half of the country and placed them in here. Perhaps I'll use it when armageddon hits and GPS goes down.
The pocket was too small for my manual folder. That resides in the rear parcel shelf on my '98.

It's made to hold your documents (owners manual, maintenance schedule, radio manual, etc) in a black leatherette Porsche case.
