I have done the swap a few times on 991’s (non RS) and some are harder to remove than others. You should be able to put your palm of your hand on the lense and use friction to slide it back a few mm’s. Then push inward at the fat end of the lense (wheel arch end) and see the front of the lense pop outward. The RS is on a different level of PITA, I literally thought I was going to rip the fender off trying to get it off. Good luck

The pop outward of the front of the lens may be very slight, but that should be all you need to get a plastic pry tool (or a credit card) under that point. Just use that to help keep it from slipping back in. Don’t use force to pry that very small point. Hard to explain. Have you tried the other side? Once you do one it’ll be easier to get the stubborn one. Studying the backside on the uninstalled one helped me when I had the same struggle.

Was this your first one that finally ran out of power? Trying to gauge when I might be looking to do the same. Mine is a 15 so I'm assuming I'll have another 2years +/- .

This is the second senor I have replaced in two months. I bought the wheels second hand to use for my winters. I believe the sensors are going into there 7th year. In hindsight I should have replaced all 4 before I mounted the new winter rubber. Now I'm waiting for the other 2 to fail...LOL

Ordered a couple sets of these for the frunk.
Amazon Amazon

I always carry a bottle of waterless wash spray (for bird crap), my iCarSoft, tire plug kit, mini air pump, ect.
Makes everything stay in place and easily accessible. Surprisingly good quality for the price. A couple reviews said it didn't stick well, but they neglected to mention what car they had. Works fine with my Pcars' trunk material.

Default Central console trim

Central console trim in carbon fiber! I debated for months carbon fiber or white for the console trim, everything else is carbon fiber so that made the decision easier. Still waiting on my carbon fiber sills from Suncoast and I may replace the chrono cover in the future. I had the stock (silver) central trim painted satin black and I'm willing to let it go if anyone is interested - It perfectly matches the black surrounding trim.



Before - Trim professionally painted i satin black

More carbon fiber!

Looks good! Definitely believe that carbon fibre was the right choice, rather than white.

To be fair my car is white and I thought since most of the car is black/carbon fiber that a little white would pop. No ragrats...

I got this to clean the floor mats:

BISSELL® SpotClean Pro™ Portable Carpet Cleaner BISSELL® SpotClean Pro™ Portable Carpet Cleaner

I wanted something compact since I have a small garage and not a lot of storage space.

I've cleaned the mats before with carpet cleaner but I was never convinced I was really doing anything. Now I know.

ME20 = Better bite vs OEM, more for track use, requires more temperature, quite noisy vs OEM, more dust vs OEM.
MX72 Plus = Better bite vs OEM, more for street use, requires less temperature, no noise vs OEM, less dust vs OEM.

Both are superior pads over OEM.
