996 Carbon Fiber

[355Aloha]

I just bought a 996 with the full carbon fiber kit.

The two pices on the top of the dash are coming lose and whan going through the repairs bills, I found out they were replaced for the same reason 17 months ago.

The carbon fiber on the top of the steering wheel os cracked as well, I assume form sunlight.

Can any one comment on these two issues.

CF is basically resin covering a fabric. All resin/plastic deteriorate under sun. It's just not smart to put CF on the upper dash that gets the sun. I suggest you get some regular plastic pieces to replace instead of changing to new CF.

All porsche parts are covered for 2 yrs if they were replaced out of pocket. If there were replaced under warranty, there is no free replacment when your car's warranty runs out.
