Upgrade your Porsche 914’s front trunk with the 914Rubber Front Trunk Kit, designed for all models (1970-76) and available through PMB Performance. With over 20 years of Porsche 914 expertise and a nearly two-decade partnership with 914Rubber, we’re the top retailer of their SKUs, selling more than anyone else. This comprehensive kit includes high-quality rubber seals and components to ensure a weather-tight front trunk, protecting your fuel tank and spare tire compartment from moisture and debris.
Kit Components:
- Front Trunk Seal (Part #914.511.901.10): A reproduction seal made from softer, UV-resistant rubber for a superior fit, matching the factory profile. It runs along the trunk’s outer edge, preventing water intrusion that can lead to rust—a common issue we’ve addressed in our shop. Requires trimming for precise fit.
- Bulkhead Seal (Part #914.512.315.10): A reproduction seal isolating the fuel tank from the trunk, blocking moisture and fumes. Supplied in one length, it must be trimmed to fit using a box cutter or X-Acto knife. Two required per car.
- Wire Pull Cable (Part #914.511.091.10): A braided steel cable with a threaded end stud for the trunk latch. Its protective sheath resists stretching, ensuring reliable release. One required per application.
- Drain Tube (Part #911.025.612.00): A reproduction drain tube with a squared-off base for durability, channeling water from the trunk. One required per car.
- Nose Panel Plugs (Part #914.559.252.10, 9 pieces): Silicone plugs sealing holes in the trunk floor (1970-75 models). Prevents water and debris entry, enhancing longevity. Nine required per car.
- Adjustable Rubber Stops (Part #999.703.036.50, 2 pieces): Reproduction stops for precise trunk lid alignment and closure tension, reducing rattles. Two required per car.
- Trunk Buffers (Part #914.559.253.10, 2 pieces): Rubber bumpers limiting lid travel when opened, protecting hinges. Two required for front trunk.
Technical Details: Tailored for all Porsche 914 model years (1970-76), this kit restores the front trunk to OEM standards. The softer trunk seal reduces water ingress by up to 95% compared to worn seals, based on our in-house testing. Installation requires removing the trunk lining; clean surfaces with a 50:50 isopropyl alcohol solution and secure seals with adhesive. Torque buffer screws to 4-5 Nm and adjust rubber stops for a 1-2mm lid gap. One kit per car.
