Hey guys and gals, we are trying to figure out when Porsche changed from plastic rivets on the outer rocker covers to metal rivets. If you have untampered covers, please let us know. Build date/model year and if they are plastic or metal.
Thanks for the help. Tod |

all plastic. Were white through mid 73 when the thresholds and strips were changed to black and then black all the way until 12/76. Many many dealers removed the rockers and lazily installed aluminum (for example on an ac car before it was delivered to the new owner.) Bottom line ALWAYS plastic. Always
