What This Product Does

A garnish rail is the interior trim section positioned along the top of each door, between the door card and side window. Rennline reverse engineered an original Porsche component to reproduce its shape and provide plug-and-play fitment. Each rail is hand upholstered in leather selected to match the original material and incorporates a metal backing plate to address the distortion commonly found in ageing factory parts.

• Replaces cracked, faded or warped original garnish rails

• Construction: upholstered rail with integrated metal backing plate
• Contents: one left-hand and one right-hand garnish rail

Symptoms of Fault

• Cracked or split covering material
• Fading caused by prolonged sunlight exposure

• An uneven upper door-trim profile

Why Replacement Matters

Original garnish rails can deteriorate after decades of exposure to cabin heat and sunlight. Replacing both sides restores a consistent finish around the side windows. The integrated metal backing plate is designed to eliminate the warping associated with original rails, while the reverse-engineered profile supports straightforward fitment in place of the factory components.
