Hi,

Stupidly I have broken the long thin drivers door pocket on my 2015 Cayman GTS . (LHD). I took the car to porsche and they say the part is not available to order individually but rather I need to order a complete new door card - over 2k GBP plus fitting.

Has anybody else experienced this and is there a cheaper solution?

Would be happy to hear

Thanks

Paul

I'd go down the breakers yard or ebay route. There's a few on ebay at the moment.

You'll need to work out if the door card needs to be GTS specific, or if the hinged lid can be separated.

Check out ebay Germany, that might be your best bet.

As an example ..... one of my pse actuators failed - OPC said that the actuator was not available and that a whole system would be needed @ £2500!!

The actuator is a simple part found on so many different cars.

After doing some research, I found the actuator part number from an American porsche website - called the OPC and gave them the part number ..... £80 incl postage

£20 to my local garage blokey for fitting it = job done

Moral of the story - don’t trust everything your OPC tells you and DYOR!

Do you have the part number?

Is it on here?



This site may help provide the number

If you navigate up a level is gives you all the finish options.

I do see the door trim here being a lot cheaper than euro spares but in the US. Even after shipping and tax it may work out better
