Vehicle Type:
911 Carrera 2/4 (964) Model Years 1989 to 1994
911 Turbo (964) Model Years 1991, 1992 and 1994
911 Carrera/4 (993) Model Year 1995
Concerns:
Service installation of roof mounted third brake light.
Information:
The roof mounted third brake light found on 1996 911 Carreras and Turbos can be retrofitted to the above-mentioned vehicles. This requires installation of locating pins on the rear window, the addition of electrical wiring (964 only), a changing of the rear wiper blade and wiper arm (Type 964 only) and painting of the outer roof cover in the vehicle color.
Important:
When installing the roof mounted third brake light on 911 Carrera 2/4 (964) model years 1989 to 1994 and 911 Turbo (964) model years 1991, 1992 and 1994, the existing third brake light can remain installed and operational or be removed as the customer desires. However, if the inside mounted third brake light is removed, the black screening on the glass will be visible. This screening cannot be removed from the rear window. As an alternative, the rear window can be replaced with a version having no screening for the third brake light:
Rear window 964 545 107 04
Rear window w/wiper 964 545 107 06
For 911(993) vehicles, the existing third brake light (mounted on the rear lid) can remain installed and operational or be removed as the customer desires. If the existing third brake light is removed, the mounting holes in the engine lid will require filling and the engine lid will need to be repainted.
