I need to know if rear hatch seals are available anywhere as a separate part or included as part of a whole new hatch assembly. I'm not talking about the rubber one that goes around the whole hatch and the body of the car, this is the grey one that is at the back of the hatch when it closes and goes between the rubber wing and the glass, then wraps around to the bottom and goes BEHIND the rubber seals where the hatch "pins" are. Mine has a very small water leak right where the rectangular "cutout" is for the drain hole (water gets around the seal from the drain hole and dripping into the rear deck area). I'll try sealing it first, but would like to know if anybody has bought this part from anyone.

I just don't want to be told by a dealer that the part is only available as part of a complete hatch assembly for $1,500!

 

Which one? If it has a number it most likely can be purchased seperately.

 

Looks to be #38A on your illustration; good to know it's at least treated as a separate piece. I'll try sealing it and if that doesn't work, it's off to Circle again (I need to order a thermostat & snap ring anyway). Thanks!

 

A complete hatch is only $1.500? What a deal!

 

Porsche-O-Phile, the part number of 38A is 944 512 463 00.
Pelican lists it at $47.50 (type the # in the search field).

 

Thanks, good to know - I checked Pelican but only through the "P-O-R-S-C-H-E" keyed illustration; it showed the "main" rear seal (which I already changed, the large one around the perimeter of the hatch), and the one around the lock cylinder (did that one too). I'm sure if I change the one I described it'll fix the problem, but maybe sealing it will work too. Thanks to all.
