Why replace this push rod?
- Broken/ sheared plastic ball/socket — a frequent failure mode. When the white plastic ball or cup fractures the linkage can detach or move incorrectly, causing the roof to jam, mis-align or fail to latch. Forum reports show this is a common and recurring issue on 986/987 Boxsters.
- Wear and play — worn pivots or loosened joints produce excess movement that causes the roof to mis-index, make clunks, or fail to fully engage the latches.
- Bent or corroded rod — impact or corrosion can change geometry so the roof mechanism binds or the hood doesn’t seal flush.
- Prevent secondary damage — a failing push rod may cause added stress to adjacent linkages, actuators or latch components. Replacing a worn/broken push rod early prevents more expensive repairs later.
Common symptoms that indicate replacement is needed
- Roof won’t fully open or close; operation stalls.
- Roof handle/actuator feels loose or has excessive play.
- Loud clunking or grinding noises during roof travel.
- Roof latches don’t engage or the soft-top sits misaligned.
- Visible crack or missing plastic ball/socket at the rod ends.

This original-style rubber seal helps prevent water ingress, wind noise and draughts, making it ideal for replacing worn or deteriorated seals during roof maintenance or classic Porsche restoration.
What Does the Front Windscreen Frame Seal Do?
The seal creates a flexible barrier between the windscreen frame and the roof assembly. It helps prevent rainwater and wind entering the passenger compartment while maintaining correct contact between the roof and bodywork.
Why Does It Fail?
Over time, the rubber can harden, shrink, crack or become permanently compressed. Exposure to sunlight, changing temperatures and repeated roof operation can accelerate deterioration.
A worn seal may cause water leaks, excessive wind noise or visible gaps around the front roof edge.
When Should It Be Replaced?
Replacement is recommended when the seal becomes cracked, flattened, brittle or distorted, or when water and draughts enter around the top of the windscreen.
Inspect the seal whenever carrying out Targa roof refurbishment, hood repairs or windscreen frame maintenance.
Confirm the correct seal against the vehicle's roof design and original part number before ordering.
Checks During Replacement
Inspect the windscreen frame, roof alignment, retaining channels and adjacent weatherstrips. Incorrect roof adjustment or damaged surrounding seals may cause leaks even after fitting a new front seal.
Porsche 911 Targa & Cabriolet Windscreen Frame Seals
The front windscreen frame seal is an important part of the Porsche 911 roof weatherproofing system. It provides a flexible sealing surface between the windscreen frame and the Targa roof or Cabriolet hood.
As original rubber deteriorates, water leaks and wind noise can develop. OE Match seal 91156509047 provides an original-style replacement for selected Porsche 911 Targa and Cabriolet applications from 1967–1985.
Design911 supplies Porsche Targa roof seals, Cabriolet hood weatherstrips, windscreen frame seals and associated restoration components for classic Porsche 911 models.

What This Product Does
This female fastener forms the upper portion of a Tenax attachment, connecting the hood cover to its corresponding mounting point. It is a fastening component rather than a complete cover or roof assembly.
Functions
- Provides the female connection for the hood-cover fastening arrangement.
- Replaces an individual missing or damaged upper fastener.
Technical Details
- Brand: OE Match.
- Component: female Tenax button with chrome-plated finish.
- Existing record reference: 99959160212.
- Internal diagram part reference: 99959160112, described as a Tenax upper part or Catch GHE 33.
- Diagram quantities: 13 for the listed 911 Targa assemblies and 12 for the 356B / 356C Cabriolet assembly. These are vehicle requirements, not pack contents.
Why Replacement Matters
Renewing a missing or damaged cover fastener restores that attachment point without replacing the entire cover. Compare the existing female button, its mating fitting and the supplied references before installation, particularly because the existing record and internal diagrams carry different numbers.
