I had mine replaced while it was in for other work a few years ago, but it looks the same as yours and turned up at the lower edges now.

I’ve just ordered one, popped into the body shop to check on my car and the trim seems easy to remove and refit too.

Really easy job, use a bit of Silcon spray to help locate, it’s a push fit, I got the seal from my OPC it was cheaper than Design 911
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.

The lower corners of the seal around my rear window have upturned.
Can any one tell me if the seal is a push in fitment around the window or is it a window out job to replace?
a part number would be handy too please if it’s to hand to save me searching
Thanks
This from Design 911 or Porsche OPC

Aparently a fairly easy job, no need to remove glass.
I would cancel that straight away as its for a cab hardtop and not your coupe, it is also £170 from OPC not over £200 not that that matters!
The correct seal you want is 996 545 545 02 and is £57 from OPC

I had mine replaced while it was in for other work a few years ago, but it looks the same as yours and turned up at the lower edges now. So I'd be interested to hear how you get on with fitting before I decide whether to remove and try refitting mine or order a replacement.
I ordered from hull opc, my car is back at slidefab to have the last of the rust cut out. I have the part now but will need to wait till June once I have it back to fit. it.
I’ve just ordered one, popped into the body shop to check on my car and the trim seems easy to remove and refit too.
OPC charge about £70 (inc VAT)
Also managed to get a couple of other bits of exterior trim. It’s all much cheaper than D911.
