How hard is the sunroof seal to do?

I have the part sitting on the shelf but haven't gotten around to it.

looking good. the window visor would look great now if you added the white "porsche" strip on top. i have the porsche decal across the top of the windscreen, but always wanted the black under the white logo. just never did it.

It is the easiest job ever: open sunroof, press down on seal an remove. Install is just pressing in place. Made a huge difference in windnoise

Material was free for me, but you need about 120cm x 120cm. Roof dimensions are 105x107cm.
Install: remove sunroof seal, remove roof guard rails. These just lift up from front. Clean, clay and clean. Lay wrap(2 persons) and start squidgy(?)).
Whole process took about 3 hours. In hindsight my biggest mistake was that the garage was not warm enough. Have minimum 22deg C. I was mabye at 16-17 and it was not enough. And I should mabye have spent an hour more..

I've been thinking about the same, but not sure how the contrast would be against my black interior.

It looks really great with the Boxster Red.

I think I have seen it with a black interior. I think it is a little much with brighter color paint but the darker colors typically look nice. I’ll try to find a pic with black.
