You'd want to make sure to get anything that is a Porsche part. I wouldn't really trust that an aftermarket manufacturer could produce the correct fitting.

I'm talking about the rubber seal attached to the body, that circles the door opening.

Son of a... Are you serious? I did not know that. I thought those vents simply vented from the sunroof cavity so that it wouldn't create an air pocket and cavitate. Are you sure? I guess that means it's even more important to prevent air from entering, so the frunk seal, the door seals, and the firewall penetrations need to be addressed.

Windshield seal rubbers are a different story but URO says they have stepped up to make there's better than Porsche's OE.

I've tinted cars and trucks before, but something about the 911 makes me hesitate. I like the look as is, with the clear greenhouse. I don't daily drive, so I'm not sitting in traffic every day sweating. Just looking for incremental gains without sacrificing my (its?) vanity.
