Post Rear Spoiler Wall

I need to replace my rear spoiler wall -- I've looked on Performance Products and Pelican -- couldn't find it. Can anyone recommend a supplier?
I checked P-car as well -- great DIY instructions. Nice rainy day project if I can find the part. Thanks

AFAIK, it's a dealer item. Porsche part #993-512-121-00.

I may have to use Randall's duct tape methodology -- duct tape on my P-car -- not sure I'll be able to sleep at night!!

Just replaced one on my spoiler, be very careful when removing spoiler assm as it can drop onto engine cover.....apart from that, a very simple job....good luck.

This can be done in less than 10 minutes without dismantling the spoiler assembly.

If you completely separate the top and bottom halves of your split spoiler wall, (if it hasn't already come apart,) and only raise the spoiler three-quarters of the way, you'll see what I mean.

Chaz--The rear spoiler wall lives in a tough environment with constant exposure to heat and wind, and once it cracks or tears a little it will quickly give up the ghost. On my 964, the ocassional dose of 303 protectant (high quality, non-silicone) did wonders for its longevity.

Something else I do to prolong longevity is manually raise the spoiler if I am going to be doing much driving about town. If you raise it manually, it will stay up until you lower it manually, and not keep going up and down as you pass 45 mph and drop below 6 mph. This should save some wear and tear on that plastic hinge that always fails.

Yes, but it deprives the non-p-car owners from being able to point and experience the "coolness" of the spoiler raising and lowering.

I have an extra one that I bought and then decided to go to a twin turbo tail. I will sell it for $80 (what I paid from imagine auto off this list) plus shipping if anyone is interested. It is still in the factory bag.
