Just got my "new" GT3 - screen squeak

[Singh]

Hi all,

HAving sold my 993, i bought a "new" GT3 mark 1 (new because its done 2,000 miles since 1999).

The only issue with the car is that the front screen squeaks/creaks. Does anyone know what can be done about it - is it common?

Cheers

Ajit.

Front screen=windscreen?

Depending on when you car was made there was an change to the seal around the front windscreen. There were also a number of fixes for noises in the dashboard.

Hi Loren

Yes its the windscreen - the car was registered in October 1999. Its somewhat unusual in that I am in the UK, i've bought a left hand drive car thats been in a car collection in Germany all its life, so it has done only 2,000 miles. I wonder if standing still for long periods hasn't helped.

Are any of these changes or fixes listed in a TSB somewhere?

Thanks again

There should be a sticker on the drivers door that has the actual month and year of manufacture.

Considering a the lowest priced Porsche is around $50,000 and highest priced around $400,000, a single set of Carrera service manuals are $2091.10 - perhaps a $25 (or more) donation to RennTech.org is good investment?
