Latches seem intact.
You sir are fantastic. I dropped the chap a message asking if he would be prepared to split the latches from the roof. He WA snore than happy to so I bought the pair at £15 delivered which I can't grumble with.
Have a look at page 237 of the attached;

This should give you the part no. Give your friendly neighborhood Porsche Dealer Parts department a call and they can check the system and tell you if they are still available or not.

What a fantastic link! Thank you very much indeed. Although my latches are sorted there is a list as long as my arm of parts I need. Sometimes I've been able to cross refference part numbers and I've found the same item cheaper elsewhere, that link however saves me ripping the part out to find the number.
Thank you very much indeed.
Those front latches don't do anything apart from stop the sunroof flying off. They don't clamp anything down. They just lock into a hole on the wind break.
If the sunroof leaks it'll 9 times out of 10 be the seal
I might have some spare ones off a spare sunroof I bought. I'll have a look at the weekend!
Thanks for the input there. Greatly appreciated.
I have already bought the sunroof latches, when I was installing and removing the sunroof I suspected the front latches didn't clamp the roof in, however they were missing so I would have eventually bought them anyway.
Do you have any photos of how your sunroof seal sits? My car is letting in a chronic amount of water from somewhere and I suspect the sunroof is the main culprit. Be it seals or latches that are at fault.
If you do happen to have a spare seal let me know how much you want for it because something in there isn't doing what it's supposed to and I won't be happy until it's sorted.
Hi BT,
2x on garthalgar's post! Even a brand new seal is leaking if it isn't attached with a minimal bead of sealer inside the seals C-channel. At least the repro seals do not come with such an adhesive / sealing.

Kyle, the owner of only944, sells great seals, I use both Targa roof seals and the hatch seal. Follow the instructions and you are good.
My proposal would be, remove some of the old headliner after installation of the new seals, check for leaks. If everything is dry for a while, install the new headliner. And talking about the headliner, don't waste your money on a Porsche headliner - you can buy a square meter of black leatherette for a fracture of the money! It is exactly the same thing, maybe a minimal different structure... The Porsche is also just a square bit of leatherette which you need to install properly.
I think you've seen it before but, here is my attempt to install a new one:

Thanks for the reply.
My headliner is shagged and although I follow your thread closely its nice to see a link specifically for your head liner.
How much material did you use for your head liner? My pillar covers and door cards are also past it so I would do them all at the same time.
What kind of adhesive did you use?
