Plan C. Call the parts department and speak with the "young man" who may be too young to remember what an old wheel looks like.
Plan D. Go the the tire installer next to the dealer.
Your 19mm and 18mm will be my Plan E and Plan F, respectively.  |
Plan C was a no go. The parts guy said if his local does not have 'old' keys.
Plan D was local tire installer said it would be best for me to visit somewhat far away Porsche dealer, Jack Daniels Porsche, Upper Saddle River NJ. This is the same dealer where I got my keys programed some years ago.
Well, after a $116.95-cup-of-coffee at the dealer, I am at peace again.
This is total for my stupidity. :ah:
$ 46.92 - Bolts
$ 10.00 - 21mm socket
$116.95 - Bolts removal and install + cup of coffee
$ 20.00 - Tip
