What Is This Part?
This clip forms part of the removable Targa roof assembly and is identified as a latch in Porsche's parts documentation. It works within the roof's retaining arrangement alongside separate fixings and frame components. When refurbishing a roof, the clip and its mounting points should be assessed together rather than replacing hardware solely because the roof is being dismantled. 

What Does This Part Do?

• Provides retention: Acts as a retaining element within the removable Targa roof assembly. 
• Works with its fixings: Relies on sound mounting hardware and attachment points to remain correctly positioned. 
• Supports roof refurbishment: Allows a damaged or missing clip to be renewed as part of a condition-based repair.

Why Replace This Part?
Replacement is appropriate if inspection shows that the clip is damaged, distorted or no longer retained securely at its mounting point. Damage to the clip or its attachment can prevent it from performing its retaining role correctly. Inspect the adjoining frame and fixings at the same time so that a replacement is not fitted to an already damaged mounting point.

Roof rattles, poor seating, wind noise or water ingress warrant inspection of the complete roof arrangement, including catches, alignment and seals. These symptoms do not establish that this clip is faulty, and replacing it alone should not be treated as a cure for an incorrectly adjusted roof or deteriorated seals. Porsche's workshop guidance treats catch condition, roof adjustment and sealing as separate checks.

When to Replace This Part?

• Visible damage: The clip is cracked, bent or otherwise unable to retain its intended shape.
• Missing hardware: A clip is absent from the roof assembly.
• Poor attachment: The clip remains loose after its fixings and mounting points have been checked.
• During refurbishment: Removal exposes damage or wear that prevents satisfactory refitting.
• Unresolved roof movement: Inspection identifies this clip, rather than another catch, fixing or frame component, as the cause.

Where Is This Part Fitted?
Location: Within the removable Targa roof assembly, alongside its retaining hardware and roof frame components.
