I can attest that clear packing tape does work in place of a broken germanium window. That said, I am still hoping to get a replacement germanium window proper.
I just installed the ali express kit on both front doors. Brian's video was extremely helpful. A couple of things I found. The puddle light does not need to be removed. The speaker also doesn't need to be removed for the front door installation. I used a Dremel tool to grind off the rivet...
The error is not necessarily due to a faulty charger. For my 22 4S, it was a short in the HV heater. This was the heater that had replaced the original faulty heater. So now I'm on heater #3, and presently fault free.
No. The night view camera
Probably not, but I was planning to contact them after the weekend. I need to determine which coating is most appropriate. Their stock sizes are not exact, although the 25.4 mm should suffice. I need to remeasure.

This thread showed me how to remove the plastic cover...
This is simply a poor design. My Night view assist camera failed after (presumably a pebble) broke the lens on my Panamera a couple years ago. I thought it a rare event until the same thing just happened on my Taycan. I drive about 7000 miles a year on paved roads. There should be protection...
Update - Porsche has refuted this claim as it relates to parts coming from Belarus. Cars awaiting parts in US ports are not because of a Chip from Belarus. There is however a customs issue and care are awaiting a small replacement part...
Soft close doors are now an option for 2025. And only $720 usd. Any chance this could be retrofit for previous model years? I'm sure it would cost more as a retrofit but could it be possible? It's the one thing I truly miss from my Panamera...
I just got my 2022 4S CT back after driving a 2024 base loaner (with just 300 mile on the odo) for 3 days. As others have noted, the base model feels slow by comparison. The 21" wheels & tires on the loaner seemed a little bit louder than my 20's but the ride was fine. I did not like the...
