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

Seems as though my rear window seal has been leaking for some time as the rear inner bulkhead has become stained. I now will have to replace the seal and the inner bulkhead.[ ][ ][ ] Have looked on ebay but listings only show the rear side window seals. Does anyone know where i can get a) The seal strip for the rear window and is it easy to fit b) A rear Savanah bulkhead without having to go to porsche themselves. Or...has anyone stopped a leak through minor repairs, ie any rubber seals on the market or am i just delaying the inevitable??? 1998 C2 996 Thanks

POST 2Original post

Try ForestFine - they have the seal here: http://www.forestfine.net/rear-screen-seal-996-551-p.asp I don't expect anyone will carry obscure bits of trim so it'll probably be Porsche or a lucky find at a breakers.

POST 3Original post

Try PorschApart in Lancashire for the trim. Details in PP or web

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys, couldn't believe the price shown at forestfine. Porsche car body repairs locally were quoting a ridiculous price of £220 for the seal without the cost of fitting as compared with the £34 shown at forest fine. Will investigate further and hopefully sort out soon. If anyone picks up any info on the savannah bulkhead trim i'd appreciate the info. Haven't yet found my closest breakers yard and have had a poor experience in the past ordering when i needed a power steering rack for my 944. Trying to find someone more local so as to see the trim before i purchase. Anyone know a breakers near Cannock, ie just north west of Birmingham. Thanks
