I've been searching for 4 years now for an early rain tray. I have my original, but it is trash because it split at one of the mountings. And, there is NO glue that will put it back together. Porsche used some sort of imperious plastic for these things!
I just counted them up (the responses indicating that the HAVE ONE & IT'S PERFECT) 87! Guess how many of the 87 had the proper part - 3! Guess how many had a useable part? ZERO! Isn't there someone out there with a flat bottomed rain tray that they want to make some money on? Yeah, I know, this doesn't belong on this forum. I'm desperate & about to give up! Please ..... help me! You can flame away after I find one..... Never mind - doesn't belong on this forum. Sorry. Desperate! Pat |

You should make the rain tray search into a movie.

You should make the rain tray search into a movie. Paul Ah, yes. It would be one of those b&w French movies. Full of hearthrobs & dejection. Friends who try to help the depressed star (that would be me), yet, in the end, depress him even further. Until THAT day that the elusive tray becomes available, which is the morning that the star croaks! Yeah, yeah, fun & games. But.....I'm beginning to think that this part is the most unobtainium part out there for a 914. No, take that back - it IS the most unobtanium part out there for a STREET 914! I've finally realized that my original, which I thought to be cracked beyond repair, is worth a shot at rejuvination. I'll post a pic of the one & only crack (severe) if anyone thinks there might be a way to repair it. Yo, any plastic melt gurus out there? Pat |
