Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The hinges on my centre armrest have snapped off today. Does anybody know if you can just replace the hinge, or do you have to replace armrest too ? Any advice appreciated.

POST 2Original post

Porscheparts in Birmingham do repair kits. Seemed to do the trick for mine. Common fault!

POST 3Original post

Very common problem. You can buy a repair kit with a metal hinge. Part number 996.552.960.01 (£18.35 inc VAT). It pop-rivets in place. If you would like the instructions, drop me an email. (not PM). Beat me to it Neil.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks both for your very prompt responses.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
