Dealer Says Debris Screen (Next to Cowl Cover) Driver Side Is Not Missing.

Noticed an imbalance right and left side. Passenger side has a screen:

Driver side does not:


Drove to the dealer with these pics and parts looked it up. Only listed/shown on passenger side. Anyone have something here or put something? Maybe 970.2 (2017-up) has something here? Came home empty handed...

Thank you.

Thank you for taking time to check! I thought I somehow removed a screen and then lost it...

Thanks so much C. Hope the PIWIS is working well for you. The new SSD includes a 38.x and 39.x PIWIS version like what they currently sell. I am considering getting an official Windows license but I'm nervous because I've purchased one in the past only to find out it forced me to do a clean install. I obviously don't want to lose the PIWIS software trying to buy a legitimate Windows license...

The official 1.8.1021 VXDiag Update surprisingly has two trojan horse viruses. MCAfee, (that was included with the new SSD), took care of them very quickly, BOTH times I updated. I tried both the 39 and 38 version because 39.x didn't seem to have guided fault finding....

Thank you J!...That's ugly. I wouldn't have even thought about viruses. I bought the vxdiag piwis 3 that comes on the touch screen thinkpad (yoda i think). So far, i have only used it to reset the oil service and haven't done any updates. This is definitely steering your thread in a different direction, but it is interesting to consider that if one updates the version on the (used) laptop provided by vxdiag, i don't see how a virus would even be caught!

Yeah I'm bad at keeping threads on track. 😬 The original SSD turns out to be 256 GB, the new one I think is 512 GB. So I couldn't clone the new one to the old one as a backup. The old one did not provide a virus scanner. I now suspect one of the trojan horses destroyed it. I was able to reformat the old SSD. It is now usable vs bitlocked, but empty. The new one is dual boot into Windows 8.1, you choose either version 39 or 38. (A new learning experience as I am not used to Windows 8.1). It included the McAfee (Enterprise edition). I was very surprised when I saw it pop up and take care of the viruses. So now I keep it updated frequently...
