Have you done the front / frunk drains? There aren't any front drains as such, it's just a series of holes but yes I try to keep the frunk area clean of leaves etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. So no round rubber bungs in the frunk / either side of the battery tray like on the 987.2? I've looked and cannot see - this must be why?

iborguk Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Noticed the wiper arm plastic bolt covers had gone grey due to UV. Sprayed them black again with some trim paint I had kicking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 How/why? I guess even the first is aftermarket? Or did the 718 revert to clear, from the 981 mesh? I see it's taller. Surprised if the lack of frame makes much difference in practice. Bought from where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better rear vision and significantly less wind buffering and in my opinion much better looking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Nice, thanks. Now I look really carefully I can see the top is mesh, but very fine! I think 981 was more coarse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, as you know, I've got a high Windschott wind deflector in your old ⚪️🔴 981 and it is a significant improvement over the mesh one in terms of rear visibility 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M12MTR Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 (edited) 1 of 4 completed. Couldn't get wheel off hub, sort of seized? So, centre cap off, a little squirt of WD40, wheel bolts slightly loosened, drove back and forth - hey presto and wheel cracked off hub and came off. (Just under 10k miles and I don't think they ever been off the car). So, inner wheel barrel cleaned - it was pretty stubborn - Meguiars wheel cleaner and a soft brush - dried and prepped, then wheel ceramic coated. Caliper and hub a little clean, plus anti seize paste on the 3 hub lugs. Job done. But other 3 to do - another time..... I'm fooked, but happier. From this.....

Patt Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Give the top of the wheel and tap with the heel of your foot - works every time for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
