hi guys can someone please tell me how difficult it is to change this rear tailgate seal between the locking pins, my finger is on the seal itself, I've ordered the part from Porsche but wanted to know if it's a straightforward job or a nightmare cheers Tony

Hi Jinxy -

If you are talking about the rubber moulded block that fits into the tailgate pin aperture, it's quite easy to fit - you just have to dig out the old one and push in the new. Don't be tempted to fit them with silicon - just fit them dry - I seem to remember that they are handed...

If that helps...

Dave
