Default Wing to scuttle rubber seal?

As part of my re-paint ive removed the small rubber seals that separate the wings from the scuttle.
Iam lookin at ordering 2 new ones but have found sumthing odd, porsche list 2 different parts, 1 is 6.5mm and the other is 4.3mm?
Iam thinkin this is it width, but which is correct?

When i removed the old seals 1 was wider than the other and looked more raised, mayb this was a 6.5?
Mayb sumone had changed a seal previously?

Iam thinkin smaller the better.

Part no 91179950307 and 90153339422.

FWIW, Russ, I seem to recall that there's an 'original' type with circular holes and a replacement type with slots instead of holes to ease placement. I'm not at all sure that I haven't got that wrong, mind you!

I had mine replaced with the 4.3mm as per original fitment.
- the 6.5mm just looks too wide to me

I know what a seal is, but scuttle? Wings? Any one know what the equivalent is in the other English over on this side?

"Wings" are Fenders in American-English

I believe the wider (6.5mm - 911.799.503.07) version is the original 964 fitment whereas the 4.3mm (993.503.393.00) part was standard on the 993. I tend to agree with the comment made above that the smaller part looks better though.

Regards

Dave

The scuttle is the bit of bodywork where the wiper spindles and washer jets are mounted. The seal mentioned by the OP is the rubber part at the bottom corners of the windscreen (aka windshield).

Churchill wasn't far wrong when he suggested we were "two nations divided by a common language"!!

Strange, but the word escapes me. I'll look it up and post what I find. Hope the OP doesn't mind that we've gone OT

Yes, the cowl. It came to me, I returned to Rennlist to post and saw that Ken D beat me to it.

Still, it's a 964 in any language. Now back to the garage (I mean car port) to check on a few things like my antenna (I mean aerial), wax the hood (I mean bonnet) and then fill'er up with gas (I mean petrol).
