Repairing a broken roll bar windscreen tab

[particlewave]

There's thinking outside of the box...very Rube Goldbergian.

It's not nearly as creative, but I just used zip ties on my friends 986. He was missing a tab on each mesh, so I figured zip ties would work best (they should be zip tied for security, anyway, so 2 problems solved with 1 zip tie ).

Hi all, new boxster owner here ('99 base). I just sit back and learn, but I did run into the broken tab problem. My solution is not for everyone, but if you work with epoxy, you can make new tabs. I taped up the roll bar with packing tape to protect it from my sloppiness, taped the screen to the roll bar, then built new tabs with epoxy fillet compound. Then I followed with an easy sanding fairing compound followed by black paint. If you're patient, you can get the tabs as nice as you like. Mine is about a one-foot job. LOL, looks good from one foot away. The two leftmost tabs in the photo were built from scratch. Also, I scored the plastic to get some tooth for the fillet compound.
