Rebuilt both the door stops with 914 Rubber kits last year. Kits were from a purchase made in early 2017 IIRC, could be earlier. Doors open and close fine BUT both closures produce loud clicks upon closure of the door. Opening of the doors adds a loud pop to the clicks. Both are lubricated but no relief is found.
What I have noticed is the aluminum machined arms received have no vertical grooves where the wheels are to roll. The profile is smooth except for the closure stop points. I've looked at other door closures and this is the only difference I see - they have these vertical grooves. Anybody else has experience with these closures and can provide some input. Left an e-mail with Mikey but he must be flying or driving to Hershey. |

Completely agree, Mark. It’s tough to juggle unit cost versus realistic selling price. Many times as a consumer, and 914 owners in particular, we expect our parts to be over engineered (better than what the factory provided!) while paying a low price for said part.
We’re pretty spoiled with the suppliers we have for 914 parts nowadays (a big part of that is you!). It’s kinda neat having been able to see the vacuum of availability get filled as Porsche started running out of certain items over the years. |
