Thanks for the numbers that helped a lot. I picked up the grommet today from the new South Orlando Porsche dealer, beautiful place. Now for the fun part as the cost to have it installed just seemed high for what it is. Not that $237/ hr labor is bad for a Porsche, but I have a list of things to do with the car up on stands so might as well take a shot at this also. 21 years old things need done. I just put the waterproof CLU box in after 2 incidents in a row. I now feel less anxiety about that whole thing. Kinda like replacing the IMS with the IMS solution. Dodged the bullet there. Unlike the waterpump, window regulators, door lock, top motor gear .......... Always something but I have bonded with this car more than any of the 20 previous cars I've owned.
The step by step instructions to do this job is greatly appreciated. If I have the time I'll get photos from underneath the car and post the install.
