Hi all,

Has anyone had to replace the rubber seal for the rear window? On my 1998 996 C2, one of the bottom corners came loose in a car wash and it doesn't sit well when pushed back in.

The PET suggests that the seal is 996 545 521 04. There's also plastic trim part 996 545 545 01 but this doesn't look like it needs changing.

Can this work be done as a self-repair? Perhaps I'm not doing it right. If anyone has been through this themselves, I'd appreciate any advice! :)

The rubber shrinks over time, the best is to replace. Just push in with the help of a small amount of silicone spray.
