Until i can get the part and space to work on the car i need a solution.
Porsche boxster door lock problem.
The metal they used is extremely poor quality and doesn t react to stress very well.
The connection is between a plastic u shaped socket and a metal i shaped screw oar thingie.
I did a lot of research and found out that the piece found in this kit for vw on ebay contains the same part needed for your porsche.
I think i know what the problem and have a replacement piece located.
The boxster door handles and door lock mechanism take a lot of use and abuse over the years and can experience many different failures.
The car is grange kept so i want to disengage the power locks or at lest the mechanism that locks them at 10 mph.
Take off the door panel and have a feel for a connection between the key tumbler and the lock mechanism.
My 2001 boxster s has a issue with the driver door lock.
The first step in fixing any door lock or handle problems is to remove the door panel see pelican technical article.
If you feel no connection then you know the problem.
