We have to remove a brand new windshield to replace all the New trim clips made by a popular vendor. They're so brittle they all break as soon as you try to install the trim. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
More than 3 hours of labor generated by using substandard parts. Seems unfair to charge my customer and I'm not happy about eating that either, except that I'm the one who recommended the vendor. Never again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Buyer beware. I'm going back to Genuine Porsche. |

It seems anymore OE and OEM can differ. So it's a Porsche dealer parts department purchase only?

It seems anymore OE and OEM can differ. So it's a Porsche dealer parts department purchase only? I ordered some from Pelican last night. Said they had 29 in stock. Only 10 left now... If you want Porsche brand parts and have a Porsche dealer nearby, you can order from their parts dept. no shipping charge and the parts usually arrive in a day. They also give you a week to return them at no charge. I don’t order a lot of stuff this way but sometimes it’s really convenient. |
