Hi folks

I have a 997 cab witha lot of carbon fiber and it all warped and cracked after time. Now I'm looking at a 991 GTS which has carbon center console and on the doors. Do I expect a repeat problem? Or have they improved things?

Thanks!

Another cabriolet?

Use a sunshade when parked. Maybe window tint. Stuff like that will help. A couple years ago, I gave away my steering wheel cover to a Rennlister with carbon interior:

I have tint and a sunscreen. It gets 115 degrees on the worst days...and we have a lot of 100 degree days in summer.

I too had a 997 with carbon inside.....the steering wheel cracked, the trimming on the dash warped, the cover on the door that flips open warped and came off. I replaced all those parts with non carbon. Keep in mind ...except for the steering wheel ..these were non sun exposed areas. I do not no know if Porsche improved their carbon fibre....but when I bought my 991 I ordered without it. It gets hot where you live in ...cover on no cover.
IMHO

I have carbon in my TTS. Don't park it outside but temps get high in the garage in the summer. No warping or cracking at all.

I have a 2015 Carrera GTS with the GTS Interior Package which includes carbon fiber trim. Absolutely no problems in 3.5 years.
