Hello everyone. So I have had some questions on several thigns buzzing around my head so i figured what better time than now and in one post. So first off. The guy I bought it from gave me a load of things so I can work on it for a while. I'll start with the easy stuff. My sound deadening pad is all grody and falling back which is a pain when trying to get to the dipstick. He gave me a new one but I have a few questions. One what is a good adhesive remover to get rid of the old junk and two what is a good spray adhesive to stick it back on. Next question. I also got a set of Camp914's rear trunk shocks kit and it is a pain trying to get the top in and out while holding the lid open with my head. The instruction i got are quite blurry. Is there somewhere that I can get some clearer instructions? Next question. I'm not sure if I'm exactly putting my targa into the right position. Could I get a pic(s) of proper installation of targa top. Two more questions. My plastic clip broke on the passenger side door handle. I have a new one but am clueless on how to get the handle off. Does this require removal of doorcard on the inside? Last question. The key only works in the ignition. A buddy of mine told me that I can reset the tumblers on all of the locks? Is this possible or do I need to remove the lock on one and go take it to a smith to get a key made? Again if anything sounds awkward ask me to clarify and I will try to the best of my ability.

I don't have all of the answers but as far as the sound pad, lose it. It's a sponge and contributes to rust.
The locks can be re-keyed. Do a search for Scott Thacker (sp?). |

It has that foam junk in it right now. The one replacing it is quite swell. Thias is what it looks like. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsche-914...itemZ8070237972. Looks like it won't be as bad as the factory stuff. And thanks I'll look him up.

The big concern is that anything you put there, If it's not completely water tight will allow moisture between it and the firewall. I completely removed mine and repainted the firewall.
It would be better to use a sound deadener on the inside. |

I didn't notice a real big difference. If you think it's too loud you can always install some dynamat or fatmat on the inside of the firewall.

Yes You can have your locks re- keyed, I believe there was a thread on here that
addressed this, you can do it yourself. The door release is held on with two nuts one is on the inside of the door. There is not much room behind the backpad for dynamat. I did see something on here about a new generation sound pad, I believe they said it was waterproof and the edges were bound. Looked good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

There's an article on the Pelican Parts site (check under 914, tech articles section) about removing and replacing the outer door handles.
