Porsche Cayenne 958 Rear Door Latch Replacement - SAVE MONEY!!

[@BrianMalm]

I did mine today on my 2014 Cayenne GTS. There were more cables than this video, so it took me longer and I had a hard time getting the plastic piece back in with the new latch assembly. But I did get it! Works GREAT! Thanks for the video! It took me a little over 2 hours.

Thanks! This video is exactly what I needed.

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you!!

[@AutoAnatomy]

I put this off for WAY too long, thinking it was going to be a huge ordeal. But only an hour of time and $100 and this was an easy repair!

[@malcolmmarsh2710]

How are the Corvair heads?

[@daRangie]

Thank you so much for this video! I got quoted AUD 700 to do this job, but your video made it so much easier than it would have been.

[@AutoAnatomy]

Wonderful, so glad it helped!!

[@whatsyourstoryfzj80-tj51]

I just want to take this moment to thank you for posting this video. There was no way I could have finished this job without breaking something (and/or getting stuck forever), most specifically on loosening the 2 glass window bolts (turning clockwise) and using 5/32" socket (I was looking at it and trying to figure what tool I needed to loosen it, rewind the video, and saw you specified using 5/32" socket). Again, there was just no way I could have finished this job without your video. I would have packed everything up and taken it to a specialist, which I heard would have costed around $400 labor. Again, thank you for taking time to put this video together.😊

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you for the kind words, and so glad you were able to accomplish it yourself!

Thanks for this video. Lotsa steps , but looks doable.

[@AutoAnatomy]

@@mattmichael363 Thank you, and it’s very doable!

[@SamiOzgen-l2l]

Thank you so much for such a professional and easy to understand video. Dealer wanted $1,300 for this!

Thank you!!

Great video and clear instructions. I am doing mine this weekend.

Thanks, without your video, I couldn’t do the job, especially the panel retainer trick, I never heard this before.

[@AutoAnatomy]

Glad it could help!

@@AutoAnatomy thank you so much. You saved me a lot of money. I did it exactly the way you said with my friend😁👍 headache Thank you so much

[@bcookt06394]

Thanks so much for this video! I had a few more wire harness connectors that snaked around the plastic bracket, but it was easy enough to follow along and get it sorted. Well shot and edited and really easy to follow along. Great work!

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you!!

Really well done video - thank you. Just had this happen on my 2012 Cayenne, very same door, exact symptom. Oddly if I activate the child lock for that door, everything works normal - it locks and the alarm chirps. Will fix it at some point but for now it's fun treating my teenager like a toddler and waiting for me to open the door.

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you!

[@TheAdz351]

Fantastic video!!! Thank you very much

[@ivo5442]

Bedankt

[@AutoAnatomy]

@@ivo5442 Thank you !!

[@michaeldodo1722]

Is it also the actuator that you’re replaced ?

[@AutoAnatomy]

The actuator is part of the lock assembly, so it's all replaced as one unit.

[@winterscold_]

Thank you for the video! I do have a quick question on the window. So I rolled it down half way and loosened it with the 5/32. But now when I try to drop the window back into the notch and tighten, the window still seems to hit something causing it to not drop fully. Did you keep the window up, while the 2 bolts were loose then put it up and bring it back down then tighten again? Hope you can help! Thanks

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thanks! I kept the window up while the bolts were loose and then dropped it back down and tightened the 5/32 bolts.

[@SuzzetteFranklin]

I saw you lift the glass up during the disassembly but you didn't show what to do during the reassembly. Is there anything that needs to happen with the window during the reassembly?

[@AutoAnatomy]

You set it back down and clamp back in place. Basically the reverse of disassembly.

[@digants2663]

@@AutoAnatomy Instead of pulling the window glass up after loosening the clamps I have seen other videos to just suction cup the glass in place at the 9inch roll down mark and then no need to touch the window. Assume that will work the same as I'm going to tackle this job this weekend?

[@AutoAnatomy]

@digants2663 Should be able to, yes

[@digants2663]

So I got everything done as your video was perfect. I held the 8 inch rolled down window glass in place with suction cup and completed reinstall with no issues and door lock is back to working properly. I hit the window to roll up the glass and the glass just drops down. I was able to pull it physically back up and hold the window up button until it secured closed, but if I try to roll down at all the glass just drops into the door. Or sure how the mechanism works, but I guess I will have to take the door apart again to see.

[@ericrenaux4828]

Hi there. Great video, BUT Where did you get the FEMALE M5 socket to loosen the window clamps?

[@AutoAnatomy]

I had one, no idea where it came from.

[@alialzaabi8235]

Do you need to remove the handle? Or that’s not matter for this task , Thanks for the help

[@AutoAnatomy]

Not necessary to remove outer handle

[@infiniteradical8758]

Good job mate

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thanks!

[@misterclawboi1805]

I just finished replacing my left rear door actuator on my 12’ Cayenne S. Everything locks and works well, but there’s no beeping after the car is locked. It’s driving me crazy. What could be the cause of it?

[@AutoAnatomy]

It sounds like the car doesn't recognize the door lock working. I'm not sure why it's not beeping.

[@misterclawboi1805]

@@AutoAnatomy is there a way to reset something to get it to recognize it?

[@AutoAnatomy]

I'm not sure. It worked straight away on my car. Sorry I can't be of more help here

[@kuruption1983]

awesome

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you!

[@Sound_isKing]

Thank you for this!!!!

[@AutoAnatomy]

Of course! I see your name RC life, are you RC cars, planes, helicopters?

[@Sound_isKing]

Yes sir! I love RC! I have a few planes left, never tried the outdoor helicopters. Only the inside ones that cost like 100 bucks and can take a fall or two as they are pretty light. I’ve seen one two many of the big boys get destroyed outdoors, likely due to pilot error, but as expensive as these toys are, I know they cried inside when they crashed. They are super cool. I have a nice collection of off-road cars and recently I got into the drift scene. It’s always more fun when you can get together with others and enjoy the hobby

[@malcolmmarsh2710]

How are the Corvair heads?

[@AutoAnatomy]

Haven't done anything with them yet, still sitting in the box. Hoping to wrap up the fuel injection next week, then on to some other projects. The heads will probably get sent out in a couple weeks to get worked on.

[@malcolmmarsh2710]

@AutoAnatomy Looking at a 66 4dr Corvair tomorrow for $2500

[@danr1920]

Hope it works out. Cool car. When you take pictures, always have all four windows down.@@malcolmmarsh2710
