WIll a 996 steering wheel with airbag work in a 1991 944S2? If so, what modifications would be required to insure the horn and airbag are functional?

I just had the cracked dash on my 944 recovered and it looks so much better.  But the upholsterer covered the passenger airbag cover.  I tried to tell them they shouldn’t do that but they insist it is okay.  Should you avoid recovering an airbag cover?

I was out this weekend when I noticed my odometer stoped working - I replaced the gears in the odometer approx. 4 years so I know there good - If I remember correctly there is a small electric motor that works the odometer, is there a way to test it - Is there a fuse I can check?

Rear hatch will not open with interior switch. You can hear clicking when button is pushed. Hatch will open with key.

I have an early 1986 944. The sunroof will release to allow the lift off of the panel but the arms that tilt the roof do not function. I hear a grinding noise from the sunroof motor. As it is an early 1986 build  it has  cables to activate the arms and not the plastic gears used in later 1986 builds and subsequent cars. Is the potentially damaged gear in the sunroof motor replaceable or does the complete motor need to be replaced?

Read so many articles on correcting the problem i.e. Cleaning reflectors, changing to leds, change bulbs, delete bulbs add led string etc!.

What is most effective way to correct problem? Also one kit is 80 bucks and one is 40 bucks.

I would like to have the seats in my 88 Silver Rose 944 Turbo S rebuilt as original.  Does anyone know where I can find the rare burgundy plaid fabric?

Yes, I picked up a 944 S2 a year ago and have been slowing fixing bits and pieces.  One of the biggest items fixed was several fuel leaks that created a significant smell of gas in the cabin.  I've replaced the gas tank, charcoal canister, multiple fuel lines, regulator, fuel pump gasket, etc.  The car has been smoked, pressure is good and there are now no leaks.  Wonderful!
