There's one I found on Renntech from '07 and it's the worst instructions I have ever read. I'm sure he meant well but not his forte'.

just got mine done at the dealer 2 wks ago. The tech took an hour to do it. I know that he had to remove some of the rear internal panels to get to it. Sorry, that's all I can tell you.

Hi Neil,
How much did they charge and did they replace the struts for the glass too?

it was covered under my CPO warranty. Service manager says it's a known issue with the '04. They did not replace the struts for the glass since that's still ok. If I was to guess on cost, it would be in the $400 range.

This is what I don't understand about Porsche, if something is a known issue, why is it not repaired on their dollar?!

I was told that the fix doesn't help in cold weather. Anyone know if this is true?
