Technical Information and Restoration Parts for the 928

Reconditioned "Like New" Pods

It is rare to see a 928 with any amount of miles that does not have a cracked pod. The alternatives:

Use a Dash Cap and have a seam or have the cap bubble and separate - about $100
Buy used and take a chance that the pod will not crack soon - about $250
Go to Just Dashes for a new injection molded pod - about $300
Buy a new one - $???

Our reconditioned pods go through eight steps, can be color matched and carry a one year pro-rated guarantee. $150.00 exchange for black- plus $25 shipping and handling. Custom color matching is an additional $25 and requires a sample. We provide an exchange program with a $50 refundable core charge and can usually ship within 24 hours for standard colors.

Core Pods - Fresh in ready to repair.

Reconditioning Process

First the pod is deep cleaned to remove silicon, dirt and other finishes.

The Pod is inspected for damage from removal and loose material re-bonded.

Next the cracks and sun burnt material are removed to relieve stress and provide a surface for our proprietary patching process.

The cracks are filled and smoothed to match the surface and a coat of flexible primer is applied to the repaired areas.

The primer is smoothed and any remaining defects and nicks are filled.

The surface is then grained to match as close as possible the factory finish.

Finally the pod is dyed the correct color to match. Black is standard and additional colors are available on request. Some of the Porsche colors are available as standard colors. If the color is custom it can be matched at a additional cost.

Care and Cleaning.

The reconditioned pods can be cleaned with vinyl cleaner or just mild soap and water. The use of Armorall is not recommended and with other vinyl products will void our warranty. The best protection for your new pod is covering it with a towel when exposed to intense sun light. Abrasives should never be used and will ruin the surface and void the warranty. Cleaning is best done with a mild soap and water.
