914Rubber Front Trunk Release Cable Guide for Porsche 914 (All Years)
Ensure smooth operation of your Porsche 914’s front trunk latch with the 914Rubber Front Trunk Release Cable Guide (part number 914.511.231.10), designed for all 914 models from 1970-76. This reproduction guide tube routes the front trunk release cable (914.511.091.10) through the front trunk, preventing excessive flexing and ensuring reliable latch engagement. One guide tube is required per car, compatible with 1.7L, 1.8L, 2.0L, and 914/6 models.
PMB Performance, with over 20 years of Porsche 914 expertise, has partnered with 914Rubber for nearly two decades, selling more 914Rubber SKUs than any other retailer. Crafted from high-strength, UV-resistant plastic, this guide tube withstands the front trunk’s exposure to moisture, road salt, and temperatures up to 160°F, unlike brittle factory tubes that crack after decades, allowing the cable to kink or bind. Its 6mm inner diameter and 300mm length, as noted on 914rubber.com, provide a precise fit, stabilizing the cable’s path to the latch mechanism.
A cracked or missing guide tube can make the front trunk difficult to open, as the cable flexes excessively, reducing pull efficiency and stressing the 914.511.091.10 cable’s threaded end. This 914Rubber guide tube installs easily, securing to the trunk floor with factory clips, and pairs with the 914.511.901.10 trunk seal and 911.025.612.00 drain tube for a comprehensive refresh. Regular inspection during cable maintenance prevents latch issues, ensuring easy trunk access.
