I don’t understand how they can say it is installed properly when it still does that. The gap between the two panels on my T is about 4mm…not even close to touching.

Just measured mine. Very consistently 7mm top to bottom, and both driver's side and passenger side.

I was hoping you would send us a measurement. Thanks Carl!

Definitely take it back in for adjustment. You'll definitely be back for a broken one if they're rubbing.. and there seems to be zero stock nationwide now.

Carl is a beast. Taking mechanical measurements all over the automobile, and using professional equipment. Doing the Porsche aftermarket QC work when Porsche slipped in Zuffenhausen. Better be careful, GM could try and poach him. Porsche had better pay up!

It’s called obsessive compulsive disorder OCD you think by the time I got to my age I’d be able to kick it. I will check and re-check things On my cars just to confirm something that most of the time just doesn’t matter. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is alignment and chassis set up. Small changes can make a big difference in the way the car drives. Changing the toe from .015out to .030in Made a noticeable difference in the way the car tracks. Also changing the front sway bar from the middle position to full soft made the front and feel a lot less nervous and less busy.Carl

If your glass is close to touching, I’d get it adjusted. It’s pretty straightforward.

I think the part about the front anti-roll bar should be broadcast from the rooftops...not sure everyone knows about this.

My OCD is after every time I get home, I feel underneath the front spoiler of my TTS to make sure I didn't scrape. I can't escape it. I also check the rear fenders for any abnormalities. I also check the side seat bolsters to ensure no damage. I know, it sucks.

While I don’t doubt Carl’s result, keep in mind that softening the front bar will increase the aggressive turn-in that the car is known for at corner entry (could easily lead to unexpected oversteer).

For less experienced drivers, I think I’d be cautious about this mod.

If one was concerned about the resulting aggressive balance from a soft front bar but wanted to try anyway, I might suggest softening the rear bar at the same time to maintain more balance at the limit.

the change it very subtle its not like changing the springs. the softer bar will twist easier and absorb some roughness from a bump . it will also give more front grip and quicker turn in. I actually like the balance better but everybody has a feel that they like. My GT4 i played around with every combination of sway bar settings. ended up with full soft front and full hard rear. came from the factory f&r in the middle .. ive driven friends cars that they loved the set up and though they felt like sh-t to me.its not one size fits all...carl

Dealer issue with side glass
 
So champion Porsche is denying all warranty for the glass and claims that I did the damage. I would like anyone and everyone to email me that had the same issue so I can show them evidence it’s a common problem. Also if anyone had this covered my the dealer please let me know which dealer it was. Thanks
