Good luck Rick and definitely do not try an install the 4$ a piece hatch trim clips if they are colder than 45F or they will break as you try an snap them onto the back side of the trim. I broke one, walked inside with everything and warmed the clips over the wood stove for 15 minutes and then finished snapping them on.
It is surprising how easily the interior hatch trim re installs and how well it holds after all the years. Also the exterior trim goes in with out difficulty, pulls right down into place with no body paint scratches and seemingly no way of things going wrong. The engineering amazes me as i put parts together that haven't met and boom it goes right in and looks perfect.
The 928 is so well thought out in many ways. Pretty amazing before advanced CAD. Porsche always works it's butt off and does about 98% of things near perfect but a few little things they miss and that is what is focused on. (example: first generation Cayenne)
I took my now gone '86 911 apart to paint like this car and can say the 928 is way easier to restore than a mid 80s Carrera. The front bumper assembly alone on the 911 was absolute hell taking apart and putting back, a million fasteners!! I can really see the Porsche minds at work with the 928 creating an advanced, easily repaired but still of the highest quality sports touring car. I like mine so much i wish it were perfect.
