987 Window Condensation and service

[SD987]

As of 6/06, these were the TSBs out on a 05 987 base. Since then, as others have noted, there's something out there for the windstop clips. My 06 has the new clips and still rattles, so don't get too excited about that.

W566 - Adding convertible top emergency tool to the vehicle tool kit
W573 - Service Action - retrofitting studs for the engine carrier with caps
W574 - Installing washers on exhaust system bracket clamps

If you haven't switched tires yet, the rears at the least will be due ($), and it wouldn't surprise me if they tell you that the front brakes will be due sometime soonish.

You may also want to take this time to modify your OBC settings for any of the following, assuming you don't have PCM.

Daytime running lights (did it on the base, will do again on the S)
Auto-locking doors above 5mph (did it on the base, but annoying to me after awhile)
Side-markers blink with turn signals (plan on doing next time on the S, didn't know about it when I serviced the base)

I get condensation streaks when I've washed the car the day before, or when the car is parked outside overnight, which isn't often.

Hi SD987, are you sure they can make the 987 side markers blink? I would really like this too! Please confirm. Thanks.

hey guys thanks for all the feedback....B, they can make them blink to my understanding, it is a hack they can do, right now ours turn on with the lights, if they make them blink, they won't turn on with your lights, they only turn on when you hit the signal if I understood correctly. I opted to have mine just be on so cars could see me maybe???

I think I'll be good on tires since I rotate the snow tires so I should have some life....

Bogg, mine are not tinted but I noticed it ever since I used the Meguiars window cleaner (at least that is what I am going with) maybe CJ is right and the pad down there is collecting residue....I'm getting my condendation on the upper edge of the inside window after it sits, that's why I am guessing there is a leak somewhere......maybe if I get reall bored I'll snap a pic of it one day if I catch it again

Super66's side-marker description is accurate.

Side-markers or turn-signals, not both.

The fact that the inside of the window gets wet when you roll it down is a known issue, but not one that is being addressed in any TSB so far.
