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.

My wife walked in the house holding the backup fuel release ring in her hand from my 02 996 Carerra today. Looks like this is how she opened the fuel filler door for some reason. I dont ask why, I know better. Anyway does anyone know the part number and is it a big deal to replace? I havent even looked busy weekend and all.
The passenger-side door lock mechanism has self-terminated in the locked position, and I've ordered a new one. Problem is, the driver-side key, central lock and inside passenger handle do not release the door to remove the door panel and access the lock mechanism. Is there a clever magical way to release the lock without mangling the door panel with closed-door removal? PART 2: Does anyone have experience removing the door panel (and releasing the 9 retaining clips) from a closed/locked door perspective?
The part number your looking for I believe is 99620149300, for more information Click Here. Replacement is pretty easy from what I've heard, but I haven't personally done it so I have no input. Hopefully someone else will chime in.
Quite a predicament. Your situation appears near impossible to remedy. If I were in yours shoes, I would first attempt to unlock the door with a slim jim. Just a thought. Good luck.
Thank you for that
The interior door handle cable mechanism is mechanical and you should have been able to pull to open. If not, I have no answers for your first question. However, there are multiple videos for the 996/986 door panel removal located on YouTube. The locking mechanism itself is a little more difficult as you have to align the key pin into the mechanism before seating it in place to bolt up. If you need help PM me. However, I'm out of town until Saturday.
A body shop may be able to help you.
