Default Warranty expires 10 days...any hot tips?

Hi all,

My 2013 C2S Cabriolet warranty expires in 10 days...I'm bringing her to the dealer for software update.

Anything else I should have them check under warranty?

The car has been solid for 4 years, 34k miles.

Any last second suggestions greatly appreciated!

My dealer did a quasi ppi before my warranty expired! See if they will do the same.

One thing I've seen mentioned a few times on earlier 991s is delamination of the UV coating at the edges of the headlights. Unlikely, but look to see if there is any signs of small cracks in the outer surface around the edges of the headlights.

I'd do what HK G36C suggested, BUT I would do it at a different dealerhip and order it as a true (keep backstory to yourself) PPI. Then bring the list back to your servicing dealership (or give it to the inspecting dealership).

I always get another dealership to immediately PPI my newly purchased preowned after the sale, and routinely the independant "PPI-ing" dealership finds things the selling dealership didn't fix as part of the Certification.

In PPI they are working on behalf your best interest, otherwise they work for their own.

I have this issue on my 2014 and the local dealer is acting like someone put some chemical on it and caused it vs it being an issue. He said last week he would check with the rep and call me the next day...no word since

Please help me understand this recommendation better. It is one thing to get an independent PPI when you are buying a car from a dealer, but that isn't the case here.

In my experience, the servicing dealer has nothing but incentive to find things that could be fixed under warranty since they make much of their money that way. I don't understand why a dealer would have any reason to not find a problem. In my mind all this becomes is an unnecessary expense for the car owner.
