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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So on Saturday I was washing my Boxster and this part fell out from the passenger rear wheel well area. Its obviously a weather stripping of some sort but I have no idea how it made its way there. Does anyone know what this is?

POST 2Original post

it is the rubber from the wheel arch (mud flap)

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I checked the other side and didn't see it there. I will check a little more in-depth tonight after work.

Very common that these break off. Pelican has them for $25. 2001 Porsche Boxster Base Convertible - Exterior Trim - Page 3 It's part number 11 in the drawing.

POST 5Original post

I've replaced those. There's a stud or post that usually pokes through the part that mounts to the car and holds that trim on. That's not on the piece he is holding. I also think those are closed on the ends.

POST 6Original post

The exact same thing happened to me a few years ago. I was lucky in that the one on the opposite side was still there. Now, you've got me thinking…. it's time to check them.

POST 7Original post

Quotes source post: 449490

You're right, I was going off what rdass623 posted. The mud guard is smaller and is closed at the ends or solid rubber. Could that be a section of the door seal that broke off??

POST 8Original post

Quotes source post: 449599

Engine compartment seal? Clam shell seal? Trunk seal?

POST 9Original post

When mine fell out years ago, it was from the rear wheel arch area. It looked like the one in the picture and had no little studs or posts coming off or through it. At the very rear section of the wheel arch, it goes between the upper and lower sections. Not very clear, I know...
