Gwsinc Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 I’m looking to mount my 986 hardtop on the garage wall to keep the floor area clear. There are a few options out there, storage ‘bags’, wall hooks as well as a factory option… I wondered what if anyone has used the official Porsche Tequipment version? Part No 000 044 000 21. On its own it’s a wall mount but can be combined with the Tequipment trolley too. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDonald Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 I'm benefitting from the hardtop just now, but in mid-March I'll be resting the roof. Locating a wall mount would be very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catching sunshine in the next 3 or 4 weeks will be the trick. By mid-March the roof will be off & the opportunity gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwsinc Posted February 17 Author Report Share Posted February 17 I managed to find one on the 986 Owners FB group. Wall clamps should be delivered by Amazon tomorrow 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clamps arrived today. Must say it’s not a design that provides much confidence! But… it seems to work and I don’t think it’s going anywhere. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 I can imagine how the hard top fits onto the top tube of the wall mount (the pointy locking pins go into the holes in the tube), but how does the leading edge of the roof attach to the lower tube?

The leading edge of the hardtop has a guide pin at either end, just like the soft top. These slot in at either end of the lower tube. The lower tube isn’t weight bearing though, the slots keep the top in position as you fit it to the top bar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDonald Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 As long as it's secure, it's great. Not taking up floorspace & not compressing seals for the 8/9 months when hardtop isn't required. I'll be watching for one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get one and it’s missing clamps let me know, I had to buy a box of 10 so have a few spare! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as the Spider is sold and out of the garage my hardtop will be banished to the garage by 'er inside and I'm contemplating using a kayak hanger thingy at the moment. This looks much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwsinc Posted March 11 Author Report Share Posted March 11 Quick update on this, I’ve now installed a couple of extra clamps, much less flex and inspires much more confidence in the wall mount. The clamps I used are Fischer FGRS 25-30mm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
