Today my car is at dealer to replace the passenger side seal (not sure what you call it) that is located at the bottom front of door frame..
If you open the door when the battery is disconnected and then close it the window indexing of course is not functional therefore the glass closes against the top door opening seal rather than "into" it and this pushes the glass out at the front seal on the door...yes of course tearing it...

 

That sucks, and it's nice of you to share the warning

 

Ugh.

 

The dealer may comp it under warranty..I will pickup the car tomorrow and see...we have a very good relationship soooooo

 

Bummer. I learned on the 996 Turbo to make sure you lower the windows a bit before disconnecting the battery, though the penalty for not doing so is evidently not quite as severe.

 

bought mine this way whats the part # to replace it

 

Dealer took care of the repair ...$411.25 parts and $476.49 labor all in Canuck dollars

 

Nice...

 

Try not to do this, either.

 

That seems outrageously expensive even in CAN $. Just for that little tear?

On the plus side, is that a nice red fire extinguisher i see? Looks good.

 

Thanks for sharing. I would have never thought about that.

 

Ya Porsche optional extinguisher

 

Calgary or Edmonton? I hate it when stuff like that happens, good that they made good on it - hopefully the tech was nailed to a cross and placed out front for all to see.

 

That's not a fire extinguisher, it's where my northern brother keeps the booze.

 

Ssssshh...it's a secret
