However, the parts inside the packaging didn't look the same. Looking at the part numbers on the parts, they both end in 02. This is the older style part. The newer style part is a bit longer (has an extension) and is supposed to help guide the top better. Since my old parts were fine, I just reused them. I'll be returning the incorrect parts later this week.
My mechanic (a Porsche tech by day) says he consistently runs into the wrong parts going into bags and being labeled wrong in Germany. The parts are always the right thing, but for a different model or a different model year.

Now, I examine parts before I leave the counter when I'm forced to buy them from the stealership.
