I have been following the thread that deals with the rear window shade bought the replacement gears and was moving along just fine and came up on another part needed and need a source.. any help would be appreciated
Eh, you may be out of luck there... This curtain really isn't a repairable part normally, and if there are issues under warranty Porsche just replaces the whole unit (I've had one replaced).
The gears just recently hit the market within the past few years, finally giving people an option to fix the most common issue. All these parts originate in China, and Porsches are very popular over there, so I have a feeling that when owners over there run into issues and figure-out a solution, they capitalize on that and manufacture and sell the parts that Porsche won't. Kinda like the Headlight seals that someone posted about the other day - Porsche doesn't sell them, and never has, but you can buy them out of China now...
Maybe if this is common enough you'll be able to find a replacement... Other options would be to repair it, recreate it somehow (3D printing, etc.) or look for the whole unit online or at a salvage yard.
yeah
I figured that.
just super glued it and hopefully it will hold together.
put it back in and its holding and working fine right now.
I appreciate the response!

If it doesn't, let me know as I believe I have the complete unit that came out of my car when they replaced it to repair the up/down issue with the curtain. It likely has that part inside but I'm not sure.
Once I get mine fixed, I'm going to disable them with my Launch X431 and be done with them... If for some reason in the future I find a need for them I can always re-enable them, but right now they are nothing but a point of failure.
