The window will make noise if they try to reuse them, the door flap will be damaged if they try to use a regular screw there.

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.

it would make my day if you guys say you have seen this on your cars & also make my day even more if you say that dealer fixed it. I have not gone to dealership yet, & i don't want to tell them about this stuff until i become friends with them, then little by little i tell them about these issues that bug me.
Would porsche replace the dash? is that considered warranty? i would say this is manufacture defect, since the leather is starting to wobble. My brother says, take it easy, it's not big deal. but i am very **** when it comes to cars.
thanks for reading this msg.
now post your comments.
Dealers charge Porsche for the warranty work, they should be happy to see you. They didn't build the car, your issue is not with them so long as they fairly present your case to Porsche.
Hard to see the problems in the picture, but those parts are definitely covered under warranty. The list price of those parts is indeed scary high, but 100% irrelevant on a warranty claim.
If they get you a new door panel, insist on a new and complete set of fasteners, and make sure they have them before turning over the car. I had a hell of a time with that when I had mine replaced. The window will make noise if they try to reuse them, the door flap will be damaged if they try to use a regular screw there.
On the other hand, it is the only thing I ever had to fix twice, and mine is a 4/98 beta release.
THanks NMOORE , you have brought smiles to me. Hopefully the dealer in newport beach will be nice to me. Any ideas on how to tell them about these issues, since i have not been there before & it's my first time , or just go ahead & tell them. I figured since my first time there, they be hesitent to hear me out since they don't know me yet. Or if it's under warranty, i guess i should just be me & bring it up the first time.
