Door Panel Removal | Cayman S 987

[@alkoenig8519]

Fantastic video! You bailed me out when I got stuck at the arm rest/pull removal because I was watching another creator who wasn't using a Cayman S. The snaps around the perimeter were insane and I would likely have bailed on the project if I didn't see your struggle as well! Thank you so much!

Glad I'm not the only one struggling with the clips

[@HelpMeDIY]

+David Arneman yeah I was surprised 😆

Hello, do you have a video that shows how to remove the lower center console area. Not the shift knob/ash tray area but the center that usually has a shelf or cd holders?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Jeff L no sorry, haven’t done that yet

[@TravisKirk-em3eq]

If I’m looking to simply replace the door handle trim, do I need to remove the entire door trim or just the mirror adjustment piece and torx behind handle?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Travis Kirk good question, I’m not sure

The trick is to use a thin metal pry tool and a wedge shaped one at the same time on each clip to make them pop open. I ripped my door apart the first time too,. Looks like you separated the two skins to some degree?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Max Carter yeah that makes sense, thanks!

Always a challenge with all the varying door panel snaps and screws. They were almost like one-way snaps.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Phil Rivera yes 😆

[@daniell7112]

Hello, I have a 99 Porsche boxster 986 and my drivers door will not unlock by the key, outside handle it inside handle,. Do you know what the problem might be and how to fix it?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Jeff L I’ve never had that issue. Sorry.

[@rioteousguy]

Used this video. Thanks for your help!

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Nic Yu nice! 🍻

What was all that stuff that fell out when you pulled the bottom of the door pannel out?? Also it was VERY unclear what part you replaced. For a DIY it would have been helpful to see the old part next to the new part to show what was wrong/broken and why it needed to be replaced.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Christopher McChesney it was unclear about the part that was replaced because, as I said in this video, that repair is being covered in a separate video. This one is only meant to show how to remove the panel. 😁 And I’m not sure what that stuff was… seemed like the panel had been removed before and it was possibly some dried up sealant or something that shouldn’t have been there 🤷‍♂️

[@harrymuker2918]

How long did it take you to fix the door from start to finish?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Harry Muker probably 1-2 hours
