I have to replace the R/H side sill cover as the other one got damaged on a run last week in bad weather (tree branch underneath), looking on PET the sill number is not a problem 996 504 364 00 01C for R/H side but there are 9 grommets in the metal sill into which the 9 tabs on the top of the sill fit into.

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.

I have to replace the R/H side sill cover as the other one got damaged on a run last week in bad weather (tree branch underneath), looking on PET the sill number is not a problem 996 504 364 00 01C for R/H side but there are 9 grommets in the metal sill into which the 9 tabs on the top of the sill fit into. Cant find a picture on line but think they are Pt No 996 504 715 00. Can anyone confirm this or what they should be? Looked at getting one in from the UK but OPC Perth are only $10 more so no brainer!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Kasspa, Thanks for the info the sill is already off anyway as I have removed it before but some of the grommets are damaged and 3 missing? I will order a new sill + grommets from OPC Perth here in WA as purchasing + shipping + GST from the UK is $374AU (£214) but can get it here for $384AU (£220) so rather than risk it being damaged etc. shipping it here just to save £6 its a no brainer to get it here! The difference in prices AU to UK are £219AU to £154UK as everything here its a lot more expensive but get most of my bits from the UK, my Indy here is OK with that so long as the are OEM type. There is a spares place over east here but cant find out who it is[ ]

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Kasspa, All parts ordered today at OPC Perth will come over from Melbourne should be here on Thur/Fri AM if I am lucky so fit Saturday and out in it on Sunday! Thanks again for the help[ ]

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

For those who might be interested I have the part number for the rubber grommets to use for fitting the side sills. 996.504.715.00 and there's 10 each side and awful to fit and keep there![ ] They are very flimsy.
