The short answer is I don't know.

The long answer is I really don't know but suspect it is more to do with corrosion of the alloy bracket. The powdery white oxide is probably causing the tightness.

As for the clearance ... .8mm is the only figure given in the Porsche manual so I'm sure you'll be fine with that anywhere in the world outside of the frozen tundras of Siberia - where your metal would shatter anyhow.
