Structure dimensions for cabriolet

Fig 1: Identifying Structure Dimensions For Cabriolet
G03102976Courtesy of PORSCHE OF NORTH AMERICA, INC.
NOTE: All dimensions are measured on the body shell (with units removed) middle hole or middle screw connection point. The dimensions are measured directly and, therefore, are oblique dimensions. Refer to the relevant vehicle views for the positions of the measuring points. The measuring points are identified for the right or left side in relation to the direction of travel (viewed from above). Dimensions which are only specified for the left side of the vehicle also apply to the mirror image on the right side of the vehicle.
NOTE: The specified dimensions are used only for an approximate estimation of possible structural damage. Repairs to the vehicle must be done using an alignment system.
