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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Came across this while washing the car yesterday. No signs of any water ingress, but doesn't look good. Anyone else experienced this? Is it a glass out refit job or just bonding in new trim?

POST 2Original post

What year is the car? Early 996's suffered from this, and Porsche do a kit to fix it. Basically, it is a grey foam rubber cord which you use to pack between the seal and the body opening to push the seal back into contact with the screen. Here is the Technical Bulletin which covers the issue.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Richard, thanks for the tip. It's a 2002 cabriolet. I'll look into the kit...

POST 4Original post

I don't think it will help than. The seal was revised later in 1998.

POST 5Original post

OPC in Bournemouth fitted a complete new rubber on my 996.2 a few weeks ago. They said they didn't take the windscreen out well they said they didn't need to but I never saw them doing it mine was coming away in the corner 6 months after they fitted a new screen

POST 6Original post

that happened to me, and ended up with a new screen as the inner has torn, which is bonded to the windscreen.....
