The original tailgate lock housing can crack or break.
It is no longer available new from Porsche.
We took on the challenge and redesigned it entirely. After making many prototypes, we developed this very strong model, made of carbon-reinforced plastic.
This allows you to transfer your own lock cylinder into this new housing.
Watch the video we made for you showing how to disassemble it, as well as the video showing how to install it. It is not very difficult, but it is important to work carefully. The video shows the model without an alarm. The model with an alarm is a little more difficult to assemble.
Installation instructions for the lock with alarm: important tips!
When installing the lock cylinder, it is important to secure it with the supplied screw, which is screwed in from the side. The lock cylinder must not be able to rotate in the housing; the screw must prevent it from turning back. See photo.
The small aluminum cover that the cable passes through is reused. You can secure it to the lock again with the two small screws provided. Make sure the cover fits snugly. You may need to pinch it into place with water pump pliers.
The shaft must be deformed on one side. Use a hammer and a thicker center punch to strike the indentation and make a small deformation so the shaft can no longer slide out sideways.
We recommend replacing the spring and the white plastic latch at the same time.
92851216502, the shaft or pin is already included.

Fits every 928 with factory alarm activation/deactivation via the tailgate.
We have redesigned both tailgate locks:
- Model without alarm
- Model with alarm
The difference is on the outside, where a cable is needed for the alarm. The housing is wider on the alarm model.
