Suggestion · Original poster
OPC have quoted £202.80 (includes PCGB discount and VAT) to replace the whole light unit but this seems (obviously) grossly disproportionate solution given that I only need the piece of rubber trim / seal which sits round the light.

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

Hi All, Anyone know / or ever replaced the rubber gasket seal around the 3rd brake light on the decklid retractable spoiler (996.1 C2 coupe). OPC have quoted £202.80 (includes PCGB discount and VAT) to replace the whole light unit but this seems (obviously) grossly disproportionate solution given that I only need the piece of rubber trim / seal which sits round the light. Selfhelp so far is showing rennfix $USD 30 solution to superglue on myself. Any advice / views really gratefully received. Have a great day everyone. Thanks for reading and thanks if you can advise / help me out. Marko x PS For general info to anyone reading this, my 996.1C2 manual is unusual in that it is a LHD Saudi Arabian import so I suspect the rubber around the spoiler 3rd brakelight has perished in the heat (and passage of time...)!
