I gave up trying to remove the little wire attached to the lock. I was worried I would break it. I found a connector for the white wire in the door, opened it and then fed the gasket up the wire, through the hole in the door and onto the door handle. I then reconnected the wire and buttoned it all up.
Fellow owner of a polar silver 1995 993 and I'm getting ready to replace those gaskets in the next week or so. Helpful video to clearly show what I'm in for.
@@levifisk6401 Thanks! It's Grand Prix White with red leather. Here's a video I made when I bought it last Fall: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kzUMmkPsD8g.html
very cool !! .... have you changed the rear window seals or have some hints? the passenger side corner of mine is kinda coming off on the corner I can glue it but the right fix is changing it. Gathering info to do it and put a video I've see some videos on 964's
I have not had to do this repair yet so unfortunately I have no insights or help to offer. If you do it yourself, put it out here for us all to learn from!
Hi - I'm wondering if the stiffness of opening and closing the door worked out a bit smoother? My drivers door is quite stiff unless I open and close the door 'quickly' as it passes over the detents. I'm wondering if I should remove the strap and trim down the rubber.
Have you added lubricant to the stops? I added some grease and that has loosened it up tremendously to a point it holds the door when needed but reduced the stillness for sure. BTW, did you use my video to aid in swapping your door stops out? Would love to hear if this video helped.
@@levifisk6401 Hi. No, I haven't done anything yet but I will try some grease. Is there any brand/type of grease that you'd recommend? If that doesn't work I will definitely be referring to your video for replacing the door stop. Thanks Levi!
@@unklefunkmaster I just picked up a very small jar of general lubricant on Amazon. I’m sure there are better recommendations than this, but that’s what I did and the doors are perfect
Hello Levi , nice job ! 👌 , I saw you have the 996 turbo twist alloys on the car. Can you tell me the rear size of the alloys ? Is it 10j x 18 ET 47 ? They look super on your 993 👌thanks in advance , grtz , Bert , belgium
Here are both measurements: Front: 8Jx18 ET52 with a 235/40 MCH Pilot Sport 4S tire; Rear: 10Jx18 ET40 with a 285/35 MCH Pilot Sport 4S tire. Bolt pattern 5x130.
Well it is an early 95 due to the basket handle. Exterior mods appear to be the front bumper, red painted calipers, rear engine grill which is also painted and painted bumperettes. Anything else? I forgot the turbo-twist rims.
I do drive it. What's wrong with maintaining a car? It isn't like I just sit around and stare at it all day. But when something needs fixing or improving, struggling to understand why not maintain it, to prolong it, is a negative.
@@levifisk6401 Exactly. I maintain my vehicles to the extreme. Comes from my flying days. As for a Ferrari, ever notice when you go to Autotrader, none of them have any mileage on them simply because they are always in the shop.
@@levifisk6401 I just meant that it is a German sports car meant to drive, not an Italian trophy car that needs to be pampered. I have an Audi and I drive it as much as I can. I wish I had your car. Sorry if I came across negative
