Hinge Purpose and Function

The presented hinge operates on the right rear section of the body, responsible for the stable guidance of the trunk lid on the Porsche Boxster 986. Its function is to ensure smooth lid movement, proper support, and maintain correct working clearances, which reduces stress on the body panels and seals.

Thanks to its factory geometry, the part maintains alignment with the body lines, resulting in even lid fitment, proper closing, and reduced unwanted vibrations during driving.

Arctic Silver Metallic - 92T Color and Visual Matching

The hinge is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic - 92T, allowing for an aesthetic match with the body in the same shade without the need for additional painting in most standard applications. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs or spot replacement of lid mounting components.

The factory paint on the part facilitates maintaining a consistent look of the vehicle's rear section, while also shortening bodywork and painting time if the replacement only concerns the hinge mechanism.

Technical Characteristics and Installation

The hinge belongs to the Gas Springs, Locks, Hinges, and Other Parts group, meaning it works in conjunction with other elements of the lid opening and support system. Its placement on the right rear of the vehicle ensures proper load distribution in conjunction with the opposite side hinge and gas springs.

The part is designed for installation at factory mounting points, which simplifies workshop tasks and reduces the need for additional modifications. With correct installation, it is possible to maintain original gaps between the lid and fenders, and ensure proper lock alignment.

Used Condition and Service Application

The offered hinge is in used condition, making it an attractive solution for economical rear body repairs. Such components are frequently used in professional workshops specializing in the service and restoration of Porsche models, where both originality and cost control are important.

Choosing a used, original part helps preserve the vehicle's character while limiting expenses compared to purchasing a new part from an authorized dealer.

Compatibility, Reference Numbers, and Part Selection

The hinge has a dedicated OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates unambiguous identification in service catalogs and parts selection systems. This allows the workshop or user to precisely verify the part's compatibility with a specific version of the Porsche Boxster 986, minimizing the risk of ordering errors.

If in doubt during selection, it is advisable to compare the vehicle placement, color, and body type to ensure full compatibility with the existing lid and hardware.
