Default 968 Cabriolet Window Seal Needed

Hi guys,

I am having a real tough time finding this part. I looked far and wide and can only find this part for a 944 S2. A lot of the diagrams i looked at are for the coupe model.
I am looking for the passenger side window rear seal which goes in a channel in the convertible top. I think its actually two pieces, an inner and outer seal.
I have a picture below of what I am trying to fix along with the driver side that has the correct part. If anyone has the exact part number that would be excellent!

I think the part numbers you want are 941.561.518.11 (gasket - outer R) and 941.561.520.10 (gasket - inner R). I found them in section 811-25 in PET.

You can find the part numbers in the Porsche PET parts list.
I believe it’s page 243.
Having worked on mine I can confirm there are two gasket pieces that mount on the aluminum channel.
DSMblue has the correct part numbers for the right side.

That would make sense, ASC did all of the cabrio conversions for Porsche.

Thank you all for the help! At least now with the part numbers i can do some searching.
And learned something new, didn't know about PET before this and the diagrams are amazingly helpful.

Looked at Vector and the outer seal is available.... at $600! If anyone has purchased these recently cheaper somewhere else please let me know!

Minden,

Yicks they are expensive. A little cheaper here, not much though...

At least they are still avalible, unlike some other parts.

Yes, but they are "out of stock" now.
