Update:

Porsche tech called me and the the extended warranty company's inspector verified and agreed with all the issues, so hopefully they will be giving the dealer the green light to fix everything today.

I forgot to mention this in the first post, which I guess has nothing to do with the title, but I am also getting a motor fixed up near the cabin air filter intake. I was getting a clicking sound every time I turned off the ac/heater fan that I traced to a flap that opened/closed near the cabin filter when the fan was turned on/off.

I was also told I need a four wheel computerized alignment because of the suspension work that the warrant will not cover. I was told $325 for the job. I got an alignment when I first bought the car because I had new tires and for my own piece of mind and that cost $125. Should I bend over and let them do a "Porsche four wheel computerized alignment" or spend less than half and take it somewhere else?

And I realized I kinda hijacked my own thread.

Tell them to skip the alignment, then take it to a Porsche racing shop and have it done correctly for less. By the way, if they give you any resistance, ask to see the alignment rack and the mechanic that will be assigned the job. Most Porsche dealers sub out alignments which means a kid will be assigned the task to drive your car to somewhere off site for the alignment.
