Rear Wiper Repair

[Moko]

While my car was at the local Indy the mechanic said that the rear wiper seal was starting to disintegrate and that it may leak water into the car in the future.

Apparently its not too hard a job to do yourself so I am planning to give it ago , but I'm a bit confused on which parts to order from Design911 looking at the diagrams below I would say its part number 3 and 7 but on the list part 2 is listed as repair kit but is that for a different problem with the rear wiper as it shows as a different location on the diagram.

Any help from anyone who's played around with the rear wipers is most welcome.

It's 3 and 7. I've done this.

I'd use some clear RTV sealant when screwing down part 7 too.

Unfortunately the action of the wiper backs off part 7 over time.

These parts are considerably cheaper from Porsche by the way.

Thanks that's great info. It's always a gamble which is cheaper Porsche OPC or Design911 wouldn't it be great if you could actually check the prices of Porsche online before driving over there.

Just call them up. They may even post them to you
