Moisture in front turn signal?

I purchased a 09 Cayenne GTS two days ago, and moisture has clouded up the right front turn signal. It rained rather heavily on the initial drive home, but not that hard. Is anyone else having this problem? Porsche is replacing the part under warranty.

I had the same problem with my '08 GTS. I went to the dealer they ordered the part, but by the time it came in the moisture was gone and has never come back. So I never ended up getting it replaced and have not had any problems since.

That's good to hear the moisture problem cleared itself up, but I think I'm going to replace the part anyway. Thanks for the response.

I had an issue with moisture in one of mine as well, and I have the same response as the first.
One day it was there, the next, it was dry and never returned.
I never took it in or questioned it..... I figured if it hung around, I would take it in...

I've done a few of them now on 08's. Not really sure why. All of them have been drivers side.

I had the turn signal replaced this morning. Check this out...the front bumper had to be removed to change the turn signal assembly. The service rep. and the tech were both surprised; as this was their first time changing the turn signal assembly . I also had clear side markers installed. All in all the replacement for the side markers and turn signal took about 2 hours and 45 mins.

Well the head lights and the turn signals are all vented, eventually it would go away you would think, especially with the lights on for a while. The early cayennes had a lot of headlight fogging issues, which resulted in several different
fixes from different type vents to dessicants. most of the time it would just clear up after a while.
