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 1Original post

Just took delivery of 09 911C2....question: I had to park outside last night (heavy rain) and today I have significant condensation in both rear taillights.....any suggestions? Thanks, Ralph Tucker

POST 2Original post

I'd say wait for a while and see if it goes away, try to park under the sun for a while. If not, perhaps a dealer visit is in order for warranty replacements!

POST 3Original post

Take it to the dealer for warranty replacement, chances are the seals are little weak and if it's letting in moisture it will only get worse I would think.......

POST 4Original post

That doesn't sound right. Possibly the gaskets are not sealing. There should be no condensation inside the lens. Have the dealer look at it.

POST 5Original post

Dropped car off last night, they are going to replace both taillight assys. Thanks for your response(s)

POST 7Original post

Yes, no charge on the replacement......car only had 175 miles on it - problem developed immediately after delivery. Staff at Harper Porsche in Knoxville was very helpful......they gave me a nice loaner while we waited on parts arrival....really odd that both rear light assemblies failed...but they took care of everything. I would recommend them to our readers.

POST 8Original post

I had an 08 997 C4S Gen 2 demonstrator out from a Porsche Centre in the UK about 9 months ago. Both tail lights had about 2mm of water in the bottom of them and were covered in condensation inside. The Porsche Centre hadn't noticed but replaced them both shortly afterwards.
