Rear window seal
5 out of 5 stars.
Keith B (West Palm Beach, Florida) | August 29th, 2020
My car is a 2004 C4S Cab. and the window seal was getting worn and beginning to let some water in. I then went to Suncoastparts. com and ordered the replacement seal for both sides. Very easy to install and only took about 10 minutes per side. The look is now better and the seal is perfect. I highly recommend replacing the seals.
Leaks and Looks
5 out of 5 stars.
Carl Spencer (Snohomish, WA USA) | March 5th, 2020
Pretty much no one pays any attention to the rubber trim on their vehicles. In the case of the rubber Rear Window (B-Pillar) Vertical Seal between the front and rear windows on 996 and 997 cabriolets, you cannot help but notice how shabby it looks as you reach to open your door. Not only that, but you'll also notice how it is starting to leak whenever you wash your car, or you actually drive it in the rain. Sometimes it can leak, not enough for you to notice, but more than enough to start pooling up water under your seats where the critical electronic components of your car live. Yet for 40 lousy bucks and about a half hour's labor, you can successfully and permanently replace these. (1) You open your cab top. (2) Next, you gently depress the microswitch for the cab top down with a no-mar plastic trim tool and balance the trim tool so that it holds the switch down. This switch lies in the top part of the hole where the cab top hook latches when it closes -- right above the center of your windshield. (3) Use another no-mar trim tool and your fingers to gently peel back the top of the old seal. It was glued down at the factory with just a drop at the top. (4) Flex back the horizontal trim at the bottom of the seal to reveal its hook-shaped bottom end. (5) grasp the old seal at the hooked bottom and firmly pull down. The trim should slide down its mounting channels and off the car completely. (6) Check the top of the channels clear out any leftover glue or rubber. (7) Install your new seal using the reverse of these steps. It can be helpful to spray the channels with a little soapy water first as a lubrication aid. Only do one side at a time so you can use the other side as a guide -- it can be a little tricky getting the inside edges of the new seal (in the back) to start properly in the grooves, and if you get it in wrong and leave it, the seal will certainly leak. (8) Place a single drop of super glue (I used Loctite 480 because it is black and works well with rubber) on the back side of the top end of the new seal and clamp in place until the glue completely sets up. Give it a full day, then test it out by washing your car. Properly installed, it will look very new, very black, and will seal better than your worn seal. It's not obvious to others why, but your car actually looks newer to the casual observer. Oh, and maybe it adds about 500 hp to its performance?

Porsche Parts Warranty Information — Suncoast Porsche

Understanding your warranty coverage is important. Below is a complete overview of warranty terms for Genuine Porsche OEM parts, aftermarket parts, and closeout items purchased from Suncoast Porsche and SuncoastParts.com.

Warranty Coverage by Product Type

Genuine Porsche OEM Parts — 2-Year Warranty

All Genuine Porsche OEM parts purchased from Suncoast Porsche or SuncoastParts.com come with a 2-year, unlimited mileage, parts-only warranty beginning on the date of purchase.

If your parts are installed at an authorized Porsche Service Center, both parts and labor warranty coverage may apply if the part is deemed defective within the 2-year warranty period. Coverage varies by location — please check with your local Porsche dealer prior to installation to confirm their specific warranty participation, as each Porsche Center is independently owned and operated.

Important warranty notes for online purchases:

  • Labor, diagnostic, and installation fees are not covered when parts are purchased online from SuncoastParts.com or Suncoast Porsche, unless the parts are installed by an authorized Porsche Service Center
  • Warranty claims must be processed in person at an authorized Porsche Service Center
  • Warranty service is honored at any authorized Porsche dealer in the United States, however some dealers may decline warranty claims for parts purchased online or from another dealership — always verify with your local dealer before installation
  • If a warranty claim is approved and the part was not installed by a Porsche Service Center, installation of the replacement part remains the customer's responsibility
  • Suncoast Porsche and SuncoastParts.com are not liable for any diagnostic, labor, or installation fees charged by another Porsche Service Center

Aftermarket & Performance Parts

Warranty coverage for aftermarket and performance parts varies by manufacturer. Most carry a 1-year limited warranty. Contact us for specific warranty details on any aftermarket product. Please note that diagnostic time and labor costs for warranty replacements are not covered.

Take-Off & Closeout Parts

All take-off and closeout parts are sold as-is with no warranty and are not eligible for return. Pricing on these items reflects their as-is condition.

What This Warranty Does Not Cover

The following situations and conditions are explicitly excluded from warranty coverage:

  • Improper Installation or Misuse — Damage resulting from incorrect installation, negligence, unauthorized alteration, or accident. This includes any use in racing, competition, or motorsport applications
  • Lack of Proper Maintenance — Damage caused by failure to follow the vehicle's recommended Maintenance Schedule, or failure to use the correct fluids, fuel, oil, or lubricants as specified in the Owner's Manual. Proof of proper maintenance is the owner's responsibility — retain all service receipts in case questions arise
  • Consequential or Economic Losses — Towing fees, rental vehicles, loss of use, loss of time, inconvenience, or any other indirect economic losses
  • Vehicles Outside the USA & Canada — Parts installed on vehicles registered or primarily operated outside of the United States or Canada are not covered under this warranty

How to Obtain Warranty Service

Installed by an Authorized Porsche Dealer

If your parts were originally installed by an authorized Porsche dealer, warranty repairs may be performed by that same dealer or any other authorized Porsche Service Center in the United States. Please allow a reasonable timeframe for repairs after delivering your vehicle to the dealership.

Installed by an Independent Repair Shop

Please be aware: All warranty claims must be inspected, performed, and documented by factory-trained Porsche technicians at an authorized Porsche dealership. Work performed at an independent repair shop does not qualify for warranty consideration. If warranty coverage is a priority, we strongly recommend having your parts installed at an authorized Porsche Service Center.

Documentation Requirements for Warranty Claims

To process a warranty claim, the servicing Porsche dealer will require:

  • Your original sales receipt or order confirmation from SuncoastParts.com or Suncoast Porsche
  • A completed warranty certificate
  • Proof of proper vehicle maintenance history (if applicable)

Suncoast Porsche retains sales records on file for two years. If you need a copy of your receipt, contact us and we will provide it promptly.

Additional Warranty Terms & Legal Disclaimers

This warranty provides you with specific legal rights. You may also have additional rights that vary by state.

Porsche does not authorize any individual or organization to create additional obligations or liabilities beyond those stated in this warranty. Any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose is limited in duration to the term of this written warranty. The exclusive remedy under this warranty is the repair or replacement of the defective part.

Suncoast Porsche and SuncoastParts.com shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages arising from a breach of this written warranty or any implied warranty.

Some states do not permit limitations on implied warranty duration or the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages — the above limitations may not apply in your state. Additionally, installation of certain parts or accessories may affect your Porsche New Vehicle Warranty. Please consult your authorized Porsche dealer for full terms, or contact us with any questions.
