    The part number for the lower hose is 955-355-577-51 (thanks to Luke at Sunset). The other part number quoted by Spyrwebs is for the upper hose that number 931 is visible on the top. I have a question: Once the hoses are replaced, does the warning displayed in the instrument panel go away or do I need the Durmetric tool?

    Thanks for creating the video and sharing it with the rest of us. The job itself was already enough to occupy all of your (or girl friend's) hands. So, unless you were really enthusiastic about helping other Cayenne owners, it was probably too much trouble to video document while you were working. The hinge supports in my CTT were recently replaced by my dealer so I won't have to worry about them for a couple of years. It was not covered by CPO warranty but my local dealer covered it for me out of goodwill. But in two to three years, I am sure it will fail again (no pun intended). I hope I wll remember then about your video. Thanks again.

    My 04 turbo came with Alcantara. But, It was an option item.

    I don't know where bfong, the original poster, is located. But, in the dry land of Australia, I think the different climate and atmospheric condition would make a significant difference.

    Getting back to one of the original poster's questions, what would be the benefits of installing wheel spacers in the rear? Is it really only cosmetic?

    If you mean the blade insert it really is just a grab and pull removal, no tools needed. At the center of the black plastic cover there is a clip that holds the middle of the wiper blade. To install the replacement wiper blade just snap the new one back into that same clip. Use consistent pressure on both the removal and the replacement and you will be fine. You're on the right track. The bolt under the plastic cover needs to come off, then with a little pressure you can get the entire arm off. It pulls straight up from the bolt perspective. I tried to replace the rear wiper this weekend but had to stop and come back inside to consult this forum. I do not really see any bolt or screw in the wiper arm or cover. Where exactly are you referring? Are you referring to the bolt on the rotating axis? If so, are you suggesting we take the arm off from the car to work on it? Can I just lift the plastic arm and work on it?

    +1 on the Isopropyl Alcohol. Dish soap can leave a residue. Wash it then clean the area well with the alcohol and be sure it's dry. Position very carefully, you'll only get one chance. The red highlighted sentence is part of the reason why I posted this question. Would there be any know-how in positioning the piece properly?

    I purchased wheel arch molding set from Porsche with a plan to install it by myself. I made the purchase decision because the pieces seemed to go on the body by double sided tape and it seems that I could handle the work myself. The question I have to the forum members is whether there is any prep work on the body that I need to know before I peel the backing paper from the adhesive tape on the back of the plastic pieces and put them on the body of the car. Do I need to do any of prep work on the painted surface? Any tips or advices in aligning the pieces to the location?

    I was exactly in the same situation only a week ago. 6mm socket wrench works. You will have to remove the plastic engine bay cover for the side of the headlamp you will work on. If you had the Porsche tool, you could just lift the circular cover (or plug) instead of having to remove this entire plastic piece (I mean one piece out of several pieces there) to access the rotating shaft. Ordering the Porsche OEM tool for your tool box in the trunk will take some time unlike other parts. Until then, this 6mm long socket or regular short socket with an extension bar works just fine. My local dealer in Southern California quoted over 14 dollars.

    :welcome: If you got to the top of any page their a menu called "Documents" - click on that and choose " MY03-MY10 Order Guides" - then select the year you want and then the model. Thank you. Following your instruction, I was able to find the order guide for my model year. :thankyou:

    I was able to see the order guide. It is an excellent resource in terms of knowing what's available as an option and how much it costs for each preferred option. I am wondering if you have the same document for 2004 model year Cayenne. Thank you.
