Just a reminder on this topic if you are using the Porsche supplied headlight wrench. When turning the wrench while attempting to lock in my headlights... Mine felt like the gears were stripped and were skipping. While closely inspecting the wrench itself ... The wrench had fine splits along the sides of the hex and were actually opening while twisting and not allowing the mech to lock in the headlight ... I switched to an extension and socket instead and the lock engaged correctly. The metal used on those wrenches are very soft..

Just like the post # 8 above indicates , I followed the directions as instructed on my Gen 1, and I was able to lower the headliner enough to reach in and remove the drain line from the ball joint connector .. then I reached back in and cleaned and put a good film of silicone around the ball connector and reattached the drain line onto the connector and Volia !! no more water leak. This is one of those jobs that takes more time to carefully remove the panels to get to the drain connector than the actual job to repair itself. Took me 2hrs .. not a difficult job just one where some care needs to be taken to not break the panel clips. If you peek in behind the panel before reefing on it to remove ...you can see and detach the clips with a good set of long needle nose pliers and release the tension on each clip as the panel in being removed. Thanks for the Help ... Excellent repair procedure above !! :notworthy:

Same issue happened on my 05 Cayenne .. Tip don't change a burned out bulb in -15 like I did .. Plastic was way to brittle ... Anyway .... I was going to attach two wires from the contacts to resolve the issue but what I did first and still seems to be working great was to simply hot glue the contact that broke back into place. What I did first was place a dab of glue in the cavity where it broke and let it dry for a minute so the contact when reinstalled would be at the original height. I then placed a dab of hot glue on the bottom of the contact and placed it back into it's original position holding it in place with a dental pick until the glue dried... and so far so good !! Another tip is use good hot glue 3m or Bostich not the dollar store crap ..I used and like the Bostich dark yellow glue .. It's super strong and withstands cold weather ... You can get it at the home Depot ! beats $$$ for a new headlamp and that annoying !
