Thread: Soft Window Targa

    Soft Window Targa

    We are just restoring a 1966 Soft Window 911S Targa (Nov 1966) and we have to remanufacture the soft rear window, the tonneau and the tensioning hoops.

    It looks as if it would be quite easy to make a kit to convert a hard window car and have more of an open top for the summer.

    Easy? There are plenty of suppliers for the tops and tonneau. There are also a couple people selling the frame and tensioner kits. A search may save you time and money. Not sure how they handle the lower frame mounting tabs or the SWT specific inner Targa bar liner?
