Every time I work on this car I'm disappointed with how poorly something was built...
Anyway rear wheel well bottom lining picture speaks for itself, removal is 5 T25s no need to raise vehicle/remove tire if you have a short ratchet.
Okay, so what conditions are you driving your car in? I live in rural Texas and have no such issue. I’m driving a 2018 Carrera 4 GTS and live in corn fields. Quality seems top notch.
That is why I'm posting as this is not something I had thought to check, removed one of them as the magnet or whatever they used to hold flush rusted through.
That is an alarming amount of crud, and exactly the kind of stuff that causes early rust through of body panels. That said, Porsches are performance cars that need maintenance. If you run fat sticky tires, you will pick up lots of dirt. Every year I remove my wheels and do a major clean up/inspection around the suspension, brakes etc. I’ll check this area for accumulation of dirt. Thanks for the heads up!
