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.

Suggestion

Give the metal body a good clean off and inspect / spray cavity wax in your sills through the inspection holes if you like.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Evening all, Just wondering how many seperate parts make up the rear wheel arch liners in a 2004 996? My arch liners cover the front half of the wheel arch only (front of the shock absorber downward to the meet the aero kit. There is nothing rewards of the shock absorber at all so you can see the back boxes. Am I missing a rear half of each liner? I've checked google images plus the design 911 parts catalogue and it would appear that my car is complete in having the only the front half of the arch lined, but this doesn't look/feel right? I have this only; 99650457302 Thanks, Matt

POST 2Original post

Hi Matt. Mine is the same and I would think that the back boxes would get rather warm If the were covered in. I have just fitted TopGear valved back boxes and found no evidence of missing liners. Mike

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Cheers Mike, that puts my mind at rest. Best regards, Matt

POST 5Original post

yup they just have a forward liner. Whilst you are there, whip them off, and the lower spats too. They are a bit of a mud trap. Give the metal body a good clean off and inspect / spray cavity wax in your sills through the inspection holes if you like.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That is exactly my intention - good man :thumb: Cheers, Matt

POST 7Original post

You won't believe how much dirt and road crap build up behind the liners. The first time I removed mine (last year when I dropped the engine) I was able to poke my finger through the lower part of the sill behind the plastic I just finished cutting out all the rot and welding in new steel... If you're interested I documented the project here... https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/1054125-new-project.html
