Another new product: Side Marker Seals / Gaskets
Whether you install clear side markers or reinstall your old ones after a repaint - you often need to replace the rubber seals between the markers and the body sheet metal.
Until now, those were only available through Porsche - either in combination with a new side marker, or for some ridiculous price (around $30/pair, I believe).
I can now offer aftermarket replacements in light grey foam for less than half the cost at Porsche.
This was a long time coming... We talked to a number of gasket vendors and tested a variety of materials, which turned out too hard, too thick, too big, too expensive, too 'this', too 'that'. Finally, we found a manufacturer - practically in Porsche's back yard - who could deliver the right material in the right thickness.
These are elastic and fit both front and rear side markers.

Bump for a great product. I used these on the front markers over the weekend and they worked flawlessly. Thanks Nicole for a great working seal at low cost.

Bump to ask who carries these now? All four of mine are rotted beyond repair.
(took apart my passenger fog light to replace a bulb and now I'm starting to think about paint/prep... though it is probably many months/years off)
