Diagram Ref No 1

The Porsche 997 Targa features a distinctive glass roof design with a separate opening rear glass section. The surrounding trim and retaining components are important for maintaining the correct fit and finish of the rear window assembly.

Over time, original clamping strips can become damaged, distorted, corroded or loose, particularly during rear window repairs, trim removal or Targa roof maintenance.

Replacing a worn or damaged rear window trim clamping strip helps restore the correct retention of the associated trim and maintain the original appearance of the rear glass assembly.

What Does the Rear Window Trim Clamping Strip Do?

The rear window trim clamping strip helps secure the associated trim in its intended position around the rear glass assembly.

Correctly retained trim is important for maintaining the fit, appearance and integrity of the surrounding window installation.

Its main functions include:

Securing the corresponding rear window trim
Helping maintain correct trim alignment
Preventing unnecessary movement of the retained trim
Supporting the original rear glass finishing arrangement
Maintaining a neat, factory-style appearance
Replacing damaged or missing trim retaining components

Although the clamping strip does not operate the rear window mechanism, it forms part of the surrounding trim assembly.

Why Does the Clamping Strip Fail?

Rear window trim retaining components can deteriorate through age, vibration, moisture and repeated maintenance.

Common causes of failure include:

Damage during rear window removal or installation
Distortion caused by incorrect fitting
Corrosion or deterioration of retaining components
Broken or damaged attachment points
Wear from vibration and repeated rear glass operation
Previous accident or bodywork repairs
General age-related deterioration

A damaged clamping strip may no longer retain the surrounding trim correctly, resulting in loose or poorly aligned components.

When Should It Be Replaced?

Replacement is recommended when the original rear window trim clamping strip becomes damaged, distorted, loose or missing.

Common signs include:

Loose rear window trim
Visible gaps or uneven trim alignment
Damaged or bent retaining sections
Missing or broken mounting points
Trim movement during rear window operation
Poorly fitted trim following glass replacement
Damage discovered during Targa roof repairs

Replacement is also worthwhile when carrying out rear window refurbishment, Targa roof maintenance or bodywork restoration.

Checks & Diagnosis

Before replacing the clamping strip, inspect the surrounding rear window trim and glass assembly.

Check for:

Damaged or distorted clamping sections
Loose or missing retaining hardware
Incorrect trim positioning
Damage to adjacent mouldings
Deteriorated rear window seals
Signs of water entering around the rear glass
Previous repairs affecting the trim fit

A loose clamping strip should not automatically be assumed to be the cause of a water leak. The rear window seals, drainage arrangements and surrounding roof components should also be inspected.

Installation Notes

The Porsche 997 Targa rear window and glass roof assembly contains specialised glazing, trim and operating components.

Before removing the original clamping strip, inspect the surrounding trim and determine the correct removal procedure.

Carefully remove the damaged component without placing unnecessary pressure on the rear glass or adjacent mouldings.

Inspect the mounting surfaces and associated retaining hardware before installing the replacement strip.

Fit the clamping strip in the correct position and ensure the surrounding trim is properly seated.

Following installation, check rear window operation, trim alignment and clearance around the glass.

Professional installation by a Porsche specialist or technician experienced with Targa roof systems is recommended.
