Hello
The B pillar gaskets of my 2010 997 looked a little sad and flat, so I decided to replace them. As I didn't find any post about this DIY I took some pictures. Easy job, took me around 10 to 15 minutes per side.
The part numbers are:
- 996 543 615 03
- 996 543 616 03
Looks like the 996 and 997 share the same part number:
First thing is to open the top and work with the front door open and back window up.
Start by praying out the top of the gasket which is glued to the metal frame of the window:
Then unhook the top gromit circled at the top:
The two other circles show the two tracks where the gasket is hooked.
At the bottom push aside with one hand the two door sills:
Then grab the "ear" of the gasket and pull down gently:
It should slide right off.
