I have the rennline on both my 993 and 997. It is low on the 997, but short of windscreen or vent mounted solutions it's the best.Fulla said:DSC module and accelerometer fitted by 9E.
Next job is a suitable phone cradle - I like the Rennline one as used one of theirs in my 993. If anyone has alternatives let me know
James M-S said:Brodie/rennline one sits too low for me. I use a couple of magnetic ones in airvent. Combined with two magnetic discs in phone case it's solid.
I bought a Kenyu airframe vent holder based on reviews, but 997 vents are too floppy.
These are what I use in all our cars.

Cannop said:As my car started to suffer with the drivers door window dropping when the door handle was pulled, but immediately returning to the closed position as soon as the door handle was let go, I bought a new door lock. The micro switches inside the unit start to fail eventually and they aren't really user replaceable.
From Design911 it comes in at £219.65 with VAT and delivery which I thought was a bit steep.
After a bit of googling of part numbers I found the above, which is destined for a Volkswagen Golf Mk5 right hand side door, on ebay for £17.89, over £200 cheaper.
Spot the difference....
....not a huge amount and nothing needed changing or swapping over from the original unit.
The clip that connects the external door handle to the lock is a weak point and although the original was OK....
....as the new lock didn't come with a new one (obviously)....
....I decided it would be prudent to order a fresh one.
The new lock's now fitted, a bit of a fiddly job but not too difficult, and the window now behaves as it's meant to once again.
It's nice when you can avoid the Porsche tax!
