Default Rear GTS tail light cracked inside

Dear all,

any idea what caused rear tail light to crack from inside? This part has never been removed before. Is it possible that it came when the ppf was applied over it?
Ps.the crack can be seen in some certain angle with flash light.


This angle the crack can be seen

From this pov, it cannot be seen

I have a similar issue on mine but much worse/widespread on both passenger and driver tail lights. I chalk it up to a bad job sealing the tail light, I don't think its enough of a issue to bring it to a dealer outside of the service interval.

I don't think that is normal even at Nissan Sentra Standards!

“Sealing the tail light” … so you mean this will happen when you drive in rain or something that allows moisture to get inside?
If not, what is the cause of this?
By the way, do you know how to fix these box cutter scratches and also this kinda water marks?



P.S. I think you can ask for your dealer to change under warranty, can’t u?

I have this on my GTS Targa as well... I have what looks like a crack in the inside of the tail light and also have the condensation / sealing issues around the bottom of my corner lights like you have shown.

I just received this new rear tail light and this happened. The guy who ordered for me said that porsche qc this one before but i don’t think so.

Do you think Porsche Supplier will cover this?
