Electric looks pretty good to me, glad I went that way now. Getting the manual flap replaced and colour matched will not be that much fun.

It probably takes 2 minutes. If this is a widespread part problem, as it seems to be, they'll just paint a bunch at the factory and distribute them as needed to be swapped out.

The factory might have trouble matching the colour perfectly, just saying.

Aha, that's the culprit of the range issues. Hundreds of hours of wind tunnel time wasted!

Seriously though, I just saw a Macan with a manual cover flap at the dealership and it was perfect. Must be a faulty batch.

Would. I be right in saying that the faulty flap is only on the RH ( passenger for you Americans ) side? If so it is definitely a manufacturing fault
