Does anyone know the size of the torx screws for the rear deck carbon fiber trim pieces?
About 12 of them flew off my car and allowed the ram air ducts to get loose at speed. The dealer doesn't know what size and says that they can't order for me because they can't find it in their parts manual.
For those of you with new GT3's I'd definitely check your ram air ducts and screens to make sure that they are not loose.
WTF?? They just came off? You never took this apart for any reason? Did you get PPF done on the rear deck? Could the installer have taken them out to remove the scoops to do that or something?
They are T25 heads. Cant help you with thread or length, as they are tight in there. Weird that your dealer can't find them, or use what you have left to compare and order them

This was on a brand new car. Never disassembled. Lost approximately 6 screws per ram air duct. I haven't taken apart the bumper to access the air filter yet but I'm sure that some of the screws are in that area.
I called Porsche customer care to alert them of the problem but they referred me back to my local dealer who can't find the screw type to order new ones.
I agree that the screws should have been torqued in better from the factory.
Porsche and the dealer don't seem too concerned. Now it's on my dime to try find these replacement bolts and re-assemble to entire deck lid carbon fiber parts.
I guess that if I paid $40K more for the car then they'd consider giving me the 50 cent screws so that I can re-assemble the rear lid even though it's a factory defect.

If what you say is true, then that's BS from the dealer. Brand new car with factory fault = warranty issue. It's their responsibility, doesn't matter if you paid ADM, MSRP, or even below MSRP. Don't just accept this, man, give them hell!! Let us know who this dealer is, and we can give them hell for you as well!.
If I were you ,I would go back to your dealer and have a serious discussion with the service manager. The fact that they are trying to get out of this by saying that can't find the screws in the book is a bunch of crap. It's their responsibility to figure this out, this is a warranty item due to poor workmanship. If they still give you a hassle ,tell them you will call PCNA and speak to the zone rep for your area, believe me they will not like hearing that. Good luck and let us know what happens!
