There has to be an easy way. Knowing how Porsche think these things out it can't be that difficult but for the life of me they don't want to slide out.
So these are the four pieces of rubber moulding that seal the engine in engine bay. It looks like the two side ones should slide out to the rear but then they run into the strip that holds the rear moulding and there doesn't seem to be any room to slide them out forwards. The only possibility seems to be taking the rear curved one out first, but then that is the only one that is still any good. Can someone tell me what the trick is? Thanks.........again World!
