That's outrageous. I dug out my latest service receipt just to verify.

In 2020, I purchased part 955-722-031-03 ("Locking Device") for $1,101.64. According to Pelican Parts, that part has been...

It's in great shape. Alcantara is the best upholstery ever - it wears well and cleans up from just about anything. Regardless, we have the interior protected with custom-fitted industrial-strength...

Value of Aftermarket Body Kit?

Hi, all.

Kelley Blue Book says a '99 996 in good condition is worth around $15k today but doesn't account for any aftermarket body upgrades. Any ideas how this might affect my vehicle's value...

Huh. Do you suppose the tire carrier impacts the car's resale value? If it's not adding value, this might be the time to have it replaced with a roof rack, rather than spend $6k to fix it.

And...

Yes. I remember a black and orange one in particular with the fog lights. [I so wanted that option but it precluded a ski rack.] I ran into the driver a year later at Rennsport Reunion in Monterey...

That's wild! I've only run into a couple of Transsy owners in person - all of them at Parade. Again, that's where somebody asked me if my carrier was cracking "too." Wish I'd gotten their name.

Thankfully, they're telling me the part is now available. It's p/n 955-722-010-00-4.

I believe the final digit represents the version of the part. I don't know if that suggests a redesign, if...

The shop tells me, "The rack is structurally cracked with the part being case metal we can’t weld on it as the welds will fail." I'm gonna take his word for it, especially after seeing max911's...

Hairline Cracks in Spare Tire Holder

I realize it's a small pond I'm fishing in here, but has anybody experienced cracks in the spare tire holder of their Transsyberia or other spare-wheel-equipped Cayenne? I seem to recall a...

100% agree. IMHO, the 928 in Risky Business belongs in the Top 3 or better. Most of those films merely employ Porsches as props while the 928 in Risky Business is critical to the story - it...

Yup. I swear by them. I had Michelin X-Ice on my Cherokee and was very happy. So, I put 'em on the Transsyberia but, at some point, they stopped making 'em in my size and I had to shift to the...

Just saw your PM! Replied. And, apparently, I need to update my alerting preferences.

If I had separate rims, I might consider something more aggressive for winter tires. As is, I swap my summer...

Thank you for showing some seasonally-appropriate love for the Cayenne!

When the Cayenne was first introduced, I thought it dopey - a blemish on the brand. But then, coincidentally, my wife & I...

Bridgestone Potenza S03, I'm guessing? Summer high performance tire.

For the record, I went with the Michelin PS2s and have stayed with them ever since. To my ears, they seem quieter. The grip...

Yeah, I saw this too and was hoping the motor (#43 in the diag) could be ordered separately (and is in stock). The motor is only $200, as opposed to the whole mechanism, which is a whopping...

Hi all,

My 2010 Cayenne S Transsyberia is getting serviced by our local Porsche dealership but, after two weeks, I'm told Porsche can't supply a critical part (955-722-031-03). For the record,...

I upgraded my '99 996's radio to the CDR-220 to gain an Aux port and am now looking for elegant ways to hardwire an iPod Touch. I don't fiddle with the music controls much, so it's okay if the...

Done.

Yup, I have the part numbers - wouldn't trust myself to get it right otherwise - and finding everything on pelicanparts.com was a breeze. Bam!
