Car Fix DIY Videos

I recently tried undertaking the DIY fix for eliminating the black foam that comes out of Porsche heater vents. It had been originally posted on the Rennlist Forum, and wanted to make a video that showed my process in the hopes that you may be able to benefit from my experience. This should apply to Porsche models 996, 986, 997, and 987.

Here’s the original link to the instructions on Rennlist:

The two products I used to make the repair:
Duct Seal:

Foam Tape:

I’m not a very experienced mechanic, but enjoy learning about my cars and slowly trying to fix more things on my own. This was a beginning step in that direction, and I believe doing it myself probably saved me $1000 in repair costs.

MANY THANKS to Joe Tegtmeyer for creating the original post on Rennlist that was clear, accurate, succinct, and thorough.
