I might be wrong, but I think the motion sensor activation for 996s is different than 986s. As I recall, the red clip's orig purpose for 986's was to prevent the clamshell from rising and causing damage while speedster humps were installed. Secondarily, as it turns out, it also turned on the motion sensor while the top was down. So people just re-purposed it to turn on the motion sensor regardless of humps or not.

It's only $5 I realize but just thought I'd mention. Anyhow, you can also pick one up from:

pedrosgarage.com

Good luck
