914Rubber Door Stay Rebuild Kit for Porsche 911 and 912 (1969-74)
Revive your Porsche 911 or 912’s door mechanism with the 914Rubber Door Stay Rebuild Kit, engineered for 1969-74 models. PMB Performance, with 20 years of Porsche restoration expertise, has partnered with 914Rubber for nearly two decades to deliver top-tier parts. As the leading 914Rubber retailer, we sell more SKUs than anyone, ensuring you get precision-crafted components like this rebuild kit, built to OEM standards.
This kit (Part #911.531.037.00, component-based) includes one door stay arm, two rollers, two springs, and one door stay pin (Part #900.088.014.02) per door, with two kits required per car. The arm, made from hardened steel with a yield strength of 600 MPa, resists wear and restores smooth door operation. The rollers, crafted from durable polyamide, reduce friction by up to 30% compared to worn originals, while the stainless-steel springs maintain consistent tension. The pin, a reproduction of the factory part, eliminates the “popping” caused by grooved originals. This kit addresses the “oil canning” effect in aging 911/912 doors, where repeated stress can tear sheet metal.
Why this kit? Over time, door stays wear out, causing doors to swing loosely or pop when opened, potentially damaging the door’s internal structure. This 914Rubber kit restores factory-like door control, preventing further sheet metal stress. We’ve used it in numerous 911 and 912 restorations, from street cars to concours entries, and it’s a go-to for door repairs. A customer noted, “My ’70 911’s doors feel solid again—no more annoying pops!” Installation requires removing the door panel (see Pelican Parts Project 75), tapping out the old pin with a hammer, and replacing the arm, rollers, and springs. Secure bolts to 8 Nm torque and check for smooth operation. For torn sheet metal, consider a reinforcement kit.
