I recently had cause to remove my front hood crest ornament, and noted that the black gasket beneath it (both believed to be OEM as installed at the factory) did not fit the emblem well.
So, searching my PET, I ordered the correct gasket part, 7L5-853-611. And it came in the correct looking Porsche bag, so I believe the part to match the model number.
Trying to fit the crest and the new gasket, I notice that the new gasket shares the same problem issue as my older one - it's frustratingly just a bit too small.
See pictures below, showing that the 68.5 mm emblem can't fit down into the 65 mm recess in the gasket. And no, the gasket cannot stretch - it's a black vinyl material which does not stretch like a neoprene / rubber part might do.
So, my questions: Has anyone ever noted this before?
Might there perhaps be an alternate front emblem which is ever-so-slightly smaller than the one which I have now, and which would properly fit into the gasket as intended?
Thanks - DM
