You can get them on eBay here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160401475364#ht_641wt_1227 I used a small screwdriver to gentle pry the existing one out being careful not to damage the paint work. I boiled the kettle; plopped the seal in a dish and poured in the water to soften it up; removed the seal & applied some washing up liquid to make it slippery; walked out to the car; and gently pushed it into place. Simple. |

If u put a pencil against the body u can use it 2 leaver it out, without marking the paint work. |

It's quite easy to relase the lock from inside the boot and refit the lock and grommit together. Think it took me about 20 minutes |

Cheaper from an OPC than fleabay. I think mine was around £1.47 +VAT & most OPCs will post for nowt, certainly OPC Tonbridge will. I'm told the lock has to come out, I lost mine before I fitted it so still don't have one on my car. |

just pry the old one out (very carefully) with a screwdriver and the new one pushes in, i used a little bit of washing up liquid as a lub |

Washing up liquid contains lots of Salt! Better would be red brake grease or even silicone grease or as a last resort vaseline or similar. |

Go here http://www.porsche.com/uk and click on 'Find a Porsche Centre' (bottom left). You can visit one in person, or they'll send parts out in the post, sometimes without charge. You can download parts catalogues from here: http://www.porsche.com/uk/accessoriesan ... scatalogue Then you can quote part numbers to them to ensure you get the correct bits!
