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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Got in in a hurry to move the car at the gas station, to allow the next person to use the pump and broke the lid (which I had left open)-hinge so easily when I hit it sideways. I thought this was a pre 2002 issue Worse still the dealer carries plenty of pre 2002 hinges but the newer version is on order from Germany. Possibly if they allowed the lid to open slightly more, close to the seat backs, this could be prevented.

POST 2Original post

Mine was a plastic hinge on my 99 996. Pelican parts has a $25 replacement hinge that's metal and cures the problem. Easy DYI.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Barn996 will give Pelican a try

POST 4Original post

You're welcome Bijan. The dealer wanted $150 to fix mine, one of the first things I fixed on my 99.

POST 5Original post

I cant believe those parts cost $25, Porsche should be giving those away!

POST 6Original post

I did this DIY a couple of months ago. There's a DIY on RennTech for this that I followed it and it went smooth. Using a Dremmel to grind the plastic, makes the job look better.
