Body trim - rubber spline questions...
What is the correct terminology for this ? I'm trying to describe the rubber filler molding that fits in between body panels all along the exterior of the 968.
Anyway, is there a good replacement option? Where to get it ? Does it need to be glued in place or pressure fit ? Thanks very much....

not at all - removal of the bumper covers are only 20 minutes each - and now that i've done it a few times, much less for me - reinstall is about the same as removal - i just yanked my front one again thursday and it took a whopping 6 minutes - rocker panels are a total of 10 minutes - the cleanup is simple and only a few minutes
2 hours is plenty of time
not sure what the problem is

I have done it a lot more times than you. The rear bumper does not take 20 minutes. I guess jacking up the car, removal of wheels, removal of fender liners does not take any time at all.

no, since i don't actually usually do that just to remove the bumper cover
turn the wheels to one side, undo the one bolt in the fender liner
stuff the jack under, grab the hex screws at the belly pan
stick your arm up in the fender and undo the 3 screws in there
do the other side the same way
then zap the front apron screws with the right angle phillips
remove the 4 screws on top
pull cover off, one end at a time, disconnecting light connectors as you go
no big deal - no jack stands - no wheel removal
after having removed mine now a dozen times, i've figured it out

no, it's not impossible - no jacking required for the rest at all
i've done it complete twice now - once with somebody else watching - we didn't even finish our first beer - maybe you just can't do it - come on over - i'll show you how it's done
