These hard plastic pieces on both driver & passenger side are lifting out. They can't be pushed back down with my thumb and I'm wondering if I'll crack them or damage the panels by gently tapping them in.
What's the technical name for this piece and will I cause damage by giving them a tap? Perhaps it's my imagination, but they appear to have lifted more since I received and have been driving the car. Body/panel flex from too much speed in the twisties??? (we have some great roads around here!) Thanks guys! Attached image(s)

914rubber has replacements
I would be careful forcing it in. You don’t want to crack the paint. Very few things on a Porsche actually need to be forced into place. I would rather file or sand down the seals a bit until it’s a press fit by hand. They are a cosmetic item so don’t sweat it. |
