You may want to take a close look at the wing support seal on your cars. This is the black surround that is at the base of the wing support and is bonded (with what appears to be be tape) to the deck lid. The one on the drivers side of my car has popped up and will not stay down, flush with the deck lid. #3 in this image:

You figure that first model year cars always have issues, but that maybe the GT4 will be immune given how much of this car is comprised of components that have already been used elsewhere for a while, and then somebody has a defect with a GT4-specific part. Sigh....

Hopefully this doesn't become a widespread issue, although on the scale of issues, this one is likely trivial to fix, and as long as the fasteners underneath hold, it doesn't seem like a safety issue. I suppose it could cause some damage if that seal came up while it was raining though.

Mine was coming up a bit (back edge 1-2 mm). I pushed it back down and applied pressure. Time will tell if it stays down.

I took delivery yesterday. I can confirm that my driver's side seal is slightly raised as well.

Is that piece more cosmetic than functional?

That piece doesn't keep the wing attached, but it looks like water could get through the holes in the lid without that seal in place.

I saw a white gt4 with the same problem again on the driver side . Porsche must fix it if we all bring it to their attention

Not surprising. From the photos I've seen, that part looks like an afterthought.

nothing a bead of silicon won't solve - to seal and keep the piece in place

small potatoes, but worth adding to the list of things to check when picking up the car

At least it's not the side intake panels that are also held by 3M molding tape. Not yet at least..

... and screws.

switchface

Are you saying the side ram intakes are also held in place by screws?

This is good news as many seemed to think just tape.

True. Definitely reseal with flexible silicon if indicated to keep water out. I wonder why people report drivers side only ??? I would think the wing greats a lot of torque and some slight movement - which would certainly cause a fixed piece of plastic taped down to giveway for sure.
