Porsche Boxster/911 Cubby Lid Won’t Stay Open? Full DIY Repair + Custom Touch (986/996)

Описание: Learn how to fix and customize Porsche 986/996 door cubby lids that no longer stay up when open. Step-by-step guide to repairing the broken spring mechanism and refreshing your interior with creative finishing ideas.

Over time, the door cubby lids on Porsche 986 and 996 models often stop staying open — especially on the driver’s side. The issue is usually a broken or worn spring housing that prevents the lid from holding itself up. In this video, I’ll show you how to remove the cubby lids, repair the failed spring section, and take an easy preventative step to stop it happening on the other side.

Once the repair’s done, I’ll also show you what I decided to do with mine next — a completely different twist on refinishing! Many owners choose to recover these lids because the original rubbery, Plasti Dip-style coating tends to get damaged over the years. You can paint, wrap, dip, or get creative — and I took a unique approach that I reveal at the end of the video.

Whether your cubby lid won’t stay open or you’re refreshing your Porsche’s interior trim, this short how-to covers both the fix and inspiration for customization.
