If the car is still under warranty, I suppose you could check with your dealer to see if they would cover it (though they might not).

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.

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

POST 1Original post

The unused stock tire sealant that comes with my '08 Cayman S leaked all over the trunk. Needless to say, the sealant is empty and the trunk is a bit of a mess. I've never even taken the sealant out of the compartment, but I noticed that the cap was loose which is how all the stuff probably leaked out. I don't think it can be cleaned up at this point. Do you guys think this is covered under warranty? Should I expect a new interior trunk lining and a new tire sealant under warranty? Ughh.

POST 2Original post

I believe Porsche recommends replacing the sealant at 4 years, but I'm not sure if that's the reason why . . . If the car is still under warranty, I suppose you could check with your dealer to see if they would cover it (though they might not). It looks like it is pretty solidified - can you not just peel it off yourself?

POST 3Original post

howie: That's ugly. Haven't heard of that happening before. Try your dealer first. They may take it on under warranty, and give you a new can of sealant with a tight top. Andrew: Yes, Porsche recommends replacement after 4 years, but howie's car is an '08. Everybody else: Check your sealant can top.

POST 4Original post

This is the second post of this kind (goop leak)... I am putting the GOOP in a spill bag ASAP. For what it is worth, it may be water soluble... Good luck.

POST 5Original post

Answering myself, it must have come in a bag--checked it this evening. It appears when a leak occurs, it simply opens the bag and makes a giant mess.

POST 6Original post

Correct, the sealant does come in a bag, but it did not prevent the leak from spilling out. The goo is pretty much solidified at this point. I can remove some of it, but most of it is stuck to the felt in the back interior trunk lining and will not budget. I can't even get the plastic tool compartment cover out without cutting the sealant which is acting like a 'glue'. I'm going to call my dealer. Basically, it's one interior felt lining panel and a new tire sealant that needs to be replaced. Ugh.

POST 7Original post

How unlucky is that! Maybe to many high-G left turns undid the cap :hilarious:

POST 8Original post

Problem Resolved! The Dealer had Porsche cover everything under warranty, new trunk felt and plastic liners, and a new bottle of tire sealant, plus labor. It's as good as new now! Phew.

POST 9Original post

Re: Problem Resolved! Good news. To credit, what is the name of your dealer? Even though I am in Los Angeles, Pioneer in San Diego (Earl Clark) has done right by our Cayman in a couple items that could have been dismissed... Also, one might wonder how it might be prevented?

POST 10Original post

Jim, it was Manhattan Motorcars, they did a perfect job with swapping out the liner.
