These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

Anyone did it on 987.2 porsche ? Please advice !

POST 2Original post

987.1 , not like it's much different. A few clips and a heat gun will get the lens off. That will give you access to most of the plastics. Rather than disassembling everything, I carefully taped it all off and just painted it all at once. Thorough clean away all the old lens adhesive. I used 30 minute rain ready window sealant for putting them back together. I've used the same stuff on headlights I did 8 years ago and they still remain moisture free.

POST 3Original post

Just buy the Cayman R headlights , they are OEM and black. Suncoastparts should have them

POST 5Original post

I wouldn't dare use solvents. Heat isn't quite as effective on this adhesive as it is on other cars, but it still works. Don't bake the lights, that risks internal components. Use a heat gun and keep it moving to avoid overheating any areas. Honestly, these were easier to take apart than most headlights that I have done. Just be careful not to pry to hard that you break the lens or any plastic. Maybe pick up a cheap damaged headlight off ebay to practice on first.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
