I would ask as to how said item would have perished in such a short space of time, and if they couldnt provide an awnser, suggest that said problem was prevalant when said car was purchased, and should therfore have been sorted before purchase

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, Just wanted to find out if folks have had a similar experience to the one I have just had with my 996. I purchased my 996 from OPC about 5 months ago - its now about 3 years old. Just before Xmas I noticed that the bottom of the carpet on the door panel was soaking wet, mostly on the passenger side. Took the car in the a check with the OPC and they have replaced both door seals at a cost of almost £400! I have a warranty and they claim it isn't covered? Seems amazing to me that after less than 3 years the door seals have failed. I'm thinking of complaing directly to Porsche UK as it seems pretty poor that a £60k+ car leaks water after <3 years and my Mum's £7k Clio is dry as a bone after 8 years. Anybody else had similar experience? Is this a known issue with the 996? Migration info. Legacy thread was 115829

POST 3Original post

Rob do you think it would be worthwhile posting that list of warranty covered items on the forum? Migration info. Legacy thread was 115842

POST 4Original post

If I knew how to do it probably! Alternatively can send the .pdf to someone smarter who can do it. Volunteers? Migration info. Legacy thread was 115844

POST 5Original post

Its the seals on the door membrane theres a plastic sheet between the metal of the door and the leather door card its about £60/70 plus an hour or so to fix, when you look at a car run your fingers along the carpet on the bottom of the doors, very commom fault, but if a cars garaged not used very much its hard to spot Migration info.
