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

Greetings all- What does everyone do for the rear weatherstrip "seal" that goes at the bottom of the engine cover where it meets the bumper? The factory part #996.512.611.00, has protrusions that fit into the decklid, but most of the aftermarket ones don't have slots/receivers. Do you modify the factory seal, go aftermarket, or go without? Thanks, Paul

POST 2Original post

There is a specific AeroKit 2/GT3 weather strip without slots. It has a strip of tape to hold it in place. IIRC it cost me $70AUD You could get a used one and modify/cut the bits that hold it in place off and use tape. I just bought the GT3 OEM one. I have a pic of it I can post later

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Excellent! Thanks for the info

POST 4Original post

Just for your reference all the parts for an AeroKit 2 wing are from the GT3 MK2: - Wing bolt covers - Wing bolts - Fan bolts - Weather strip - Wiring harness - Snorkel is the same as any Carrera - Angling wedges If you're missing a part for the genuine AeroKit 2, look up the 996 GT3 on AutoAtlanta all the parts are on the rear lid diagram. Additional info: - The brackets for the blade cannot be bought as separate parts so dont damage or lose them (which is hard as they are riveted on) - The underside of an AeroKit 2 decklid should be painted and finished with a gloss clear coat
