Targa

Fits:
Porsche 911 - 1967 to 1985
Porsche 912 - 1967 to 1969

• Material: Aluminium, offering strength while reducing added weight.
• Fitment: Left and right sides of the Targa roof frame

Over time, the Targa frame section can suffer fatigue, stress cracking, or deformation due to removable roof panels, body flex, or prolonged road use. These issues can lead to misalignment of the roof, subtle leaks, wind noise or diminished structural integrity. Installing a new reinforcement plate set restores correct support, helps maintain chassis integrity and protects the Targa roof fit and body alignment for years to come.

Fits:
Porsche 911 - 1967 to 1989
Porsche 912 - 1967 to 1969
Porsche 964 - 1989 to 1994

• The Targa roof or Convertible top mechanism on classic 911s uses mounts/attachments to latch, pivot or tension the roof panel correctly.
• This repair mount is likely a small but critical component: it could serve as a mount point or pivot for the front Targa roof bar, or the latch/hinge assembly.
• The included tension spring suggests it plays a role in the roof-mechanism’s spring-loaded or tensioned latch/pivot function.
• Because it is labeled “repair mount”, it is likely used when the original mount has worn, broken, or been replaced incorrectly.

• The roof panel doesn’t line up correctly, has excessive play, or the front bar doesn’t seat flush with the body when the roof is closed.
  
• The roof mechanism (especially the front section) feels loose or worn, or you find the mount/pivot is broken, cracked or missing.
  
• The tension spring associated with the mount is missing, fatigued, weak or broken, causing the roof latch not to hold firmly.
  
• During a restoration or refurb, the original mount is corroded, has poor repair history, or rust has eaten the mounting point.
• The roof could be mis-aligned, rattles, leaks at the front edge, or the roof bar is not seating properly — indicating the mount that holds the bar might have failed.

• Roof integrity & alignment: The roof’s fit and finish depend on correct mounts and tensioning. A worn mount can lead to misalignment, water ingress, wind noise and reduced value.
  
• Correct operation: The roof mechanism must pivot, latch and hold reliably. A compromised mount can affect the reliable opening/closing of the roof.
  
• Preserves structural & aesthetic value: On classic 911 models, original mechanism parts matter for authenticity, fitment and resale.
  
• Prevents further damage: A faulty mounting point can lead to stress on adjacent components (roof bar, hinge, seals) — replacing the mount helps prevent accelerated wear.
