• Benefit: Direct-fit replacement matching original OEM spec for reliable opening and secure closure

Over time the cable may stretch, fray, suffer from worn ends or corrosion in the sheath - leading to sticky or failed lid-release mechanisms, difficulty opening the engine bay or even damage to the latch.

When to replace:
•  If the engine lid doesn’t open smoothly or requires excessive force.
•  When the internal release lever moves but the lid stays locked.
•  As part of bodywork or latch servicing, especially after storage, corrosion or water intrusion.

Replacing a cable restores smooth, reliable lid operation and prevents frustration or damage to your Porsche’s rear engine bay access.
