Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My headlights on my Cayman 987.2 are faded or cloudy looking. They've been cleaned but the issue is on the inside of the lens not the outside. Is there any fix for this? Can the lens be removed and cleaned and reattached or do i need by new headlights? They really spoil the look of the car.

POST 2Original post

I took my 997.1 headlight apart due to a broken reflector. It can be done but it’s a pain removing the lens/glass. Needs re sealed with rtv/silicone
