Yes, that small gap at the bottom. I dont even think about it anymore after installing it. It doesnt cause any whistle or other noise and doesnt seem to leak any water into the door.

Trim triangle removal tips/tricks
Can anyone give me more detailed information on how to remove the inner window trim piece? I purchased these for my 992.1 and I have tried with no luck to get wiggle and lift up the passenger side triangle. It will not seem to disengage, and I also slid under a trim removal tool as well as flat head screw driver. I just feel like the amount of pressure I was applying should be plenty and I dont want to break this thing. TIA

Having installed the AWE product. Use the thin/flat trim tool on the most front (towards fronk) part of the inside triangle trim and pry up while pulling the trim piece back towards rear of car with modest pressure. Yes, it feels like you may break it, but having done it 5X, never broke the plastic catch..
Just steady pressure with the trim tool. note the configuration of the plastic latch one removed and it will help with the removal of the second one.
It should be noted from my very close observations, that the AWE product does NOT fit flush with the rubber barrier to prevent water from leaking into your door. This is shown as a gap at the bottom of the AWE diffuser compared to the stock trim piece. If you look down the door once the stock trim piece (outside) is removed, you can see the rubber seal that the stock trim contacts to prevent entry of water (wash and rain). I have some concerns.

AWE-Tuning's kit does fit my 2026 992.2, and it does work... til about 105mph.
At Road Atlanta, if you get a good run out of T7 you're easily doing 160mph by the brake zone for T10a and after 125mph the buffeting is so bad it's literally dangerous.
Is the Fabspeed or another kit (I don't need CF) better in regards to working at a higher MPH?

I just installed the Fabspeed aluminum ones; work great up to 85 MPH. Haven't had a chance to test faster but I suspect they'll do great.
They are bulkier than the AWE, but it seems the uglier they look the better they work...
