These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone used the kit on theirs ? The SOB who broke into my boxster destroyed the hinge, the top is fine and the pin in front that locks is out...I could JB Weld that back in place...but my hinge is trashed. Thanks Dwight

POST 2Original post

Order a repair kit from Pelican or Suncoast... It took me a whole half hour to git 'er done, including cleanup and celebratory beverage.

POST 3Original post

I will take a picture of how I repaired mine. It cost me about $3.45 and about an hour of my time, but its MUCH stronger than factory. Nobody ever really looks at the hinge right??

POST 6Original post

I used the factory hinge repair kit. Quick, easy, strong. Cheap enough that it would not have been worth my time to fabricate something on my own.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Got rivet tools, what type of hinge ?

POST 8Original post

The console repair kit uses two rivits to attach the replacement hinge. It is a quick and solid repair.

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