Porsche Cayenne 2003 rear wiper cover

thingiverse

Rear windscreen wiper cover for Porsche Cayenne 955 2003. I somehow managed to knock off the windscreen wiper cover, so I purchased a new one from Porsche spare parts. However, I also had to buy the rear window handle/lock switch at the same time, as it cost around NZ$100. In another country, I could have bought just the cover on Ebay for $10, but that wasn't an option for me. While trying to put the cover on, I accidentally broke the little plastic catch inside. To make matters worse, I had to buy a second one because my first attempt was unsuccessful. A local panel beater kindly offered to install it on my car for me. Two years later, that too fell off and got destroyed when I ran over it in my driveway. At this point, I thought I would design my own cover. I was fortunate enough to have the new unused base to test different designs. Unfortunately, I made around 10 covers that didn't fit properly. But having a 3D printer has its advantages, as it allows me to quickly prototype and test different designs. My first attempt at making a cover is in PLA, but I plan to make another one in ABS since black materials can get extremely hot and may fail under these conditions. I am more than happy to share my design with others.
