When it comes to Porsche vehicles, it’s the smallest things that are the hardest. I spent 3 months of weekends trying to repair the sun shade motors in my Cayenne. One of the most frustrating things I’ve ever done. After multiple unique torx bits, brass gears, one new sun shade motor (because I broke it) and a lot of cussing, I got them both fixed. To date, it’s the repair I’m most proud of. 😊

I had no problem at all with the ebay mirror flip covers, they fit perfect. It looks like you and I used the same retailer for all the lighting. I am impressed with your choice. It shows taste and style. They've been in for a year no failure so far, I know some cheap LEDs can disappoint, but knock on wood. I reused the door courtesy lights just threw in LEDs. One day I'll splurge for the ones that shine the porsche crest on the ground when you open the door, so bling. I like the new ashtray replacement, but it does seem like there's quite a Porsche tax on it. Maybe renn will have a sale 😅 Thanks for the entertaining video!

The aftermarket support for cars nowadays is insane. 3D printing has allowed people to make exactly what they want/need. I had e28 few years back and it didn't have cupholders at all. Some guy designed dual cupholders for the car, paid 30 bucks for it and I used it daily. Probably one of my favourite upgrades on any car, even though it's such a small thing.

I had the exact same problem with the door latch. I just fixed it yesterday. Took the half with the mechanical bits and the new microswitch form the non-Porsche new one, and put it together with the other half with the electronic bits from the used one. I for the life of me cannot find a difference between the new and old board inside the half with the connector (there are no electronics inside, just a motor, and I swapped that around too). But the car knows... Maybe one lead goes to ground and it senses that. IDFK. In any case, now it is done. 5 hours gone. Was thinking about whether I could tell you how to fix yours as I was doing it :( Too late.
