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 |

Never a lost cause. However, when you get one, you will have to do a super treatment on it to be able to preserve it for any length of time. Really, I think the best thing is to reproduce them somehow. Plastic and rubber parts just do not last. They don't rust like steel, but they have their own forms of decay.
