  Required Quantity

Two dampers are required for the rear lid assembly. Supplied individually.

What Is This Part?

This damper is the gas-filled strut fitted between the rear lid and the vehicle body. It works alongside the hinges and the second support strut, helping carry the lid's weight while the luggage compartment is open. Inside a gas spring, pressure acts on a piston and rod to provide an extending force. The rod moves into the cylinder as the lid closes and extends as it opens. 

What Does This Part Do?

• Supports the open lid: Works with the other rear lid damper to hold the lid raised.
• Assists lifting: The gas spring's extending force helps counter the weight of the lid during opening. ()
• Allows hinged movement: Extends and compresses as the lid moves between its open and closed positions.
  
  Why Replace This Part?

A gas strut can gradually lose supporting force as its internal gas pressure falls. If the lid becomes heavier to lift or no longer stays raised, inspect both dampers rather than assuming that only one has deteriorated. Gas loss through the sealing system is an established cause of declining gas-spring force. 

Damage to the piston rod or seals can also affect operation. A scratched, bent or contaminated rod may compromise the sealing system, so visible damage should be assessed before the strut is reused. Inspect the ball studs and attachment points as well: loose or damaged mountings require attention independently of the damper's supporting force. 

When to Replace This Part?

• Lid will not stay raised: It sinks or starts to close after being opened.
• Increased lifting effort: The lid feels noticeably heavier than before.
• Visible damage: The cylinder, piston rod or end fittings are bent, cracked or damaged.
• Rod surface deterioration: Scratches, corrosion or contamination warrant inspection because the rod surface is important to seal operation. 
• Leakage or unusual movement: Oil seepage, creaking, knocking or poor seating should prompt inspection of the struts and their mountings.
  
  

Support the lid securely before disconnecting either damper. During refitting, check that the attachments are secure and that the lid moves without binding.

Where Is This Part Fitted?

Location: At the rear lid opening, between the body and the hinged rear lid. The damper attaches at the ball-stud mounting points and works with the support on the opposite side.

This OE Match rear lid damper is a replacement gas strut for with the IXAM Aero Kit rear spoiler. It assists lifting and supports the open rear lid, replacing a weakened or damaged support.

Fits

• Porsche 987C Cayman / Cayman S MKI 2005-08

Required Quantity

Two dampers are required per vehicle for the rear lid. Supplied individually.

What Is This Part?

The rear lid damper is a gas-pressure support fitted between the rear hatch and the vehicle body. Its extending rod and pressurised cylinder provide assistance as the hatch opens and help support its weight when raised. It works alongside the second damper and the hatch hinges, allowing access to the rear luggage compartment. This application is specifically for cars with the IXAM Aero Kit rear spoiler, so the spoiler equipment must be checked rather than selecting a strut by model year alone.

What Does This Part Do?

• Assists lifting: Provides force to help raise the rear lid against its weight.
• Supports the open hatch: Works with the opposite damper to hold the raised lid in position.
• Assists hatch movement: Extends and compresses as the lid moves through its opening and closing travel.
• Maintains access: Supports the hatch while the rear luggage compartment is being used.
  
  

Why Replace This Part?

A gas strut can lose supporting force as it ages, leaving the lid harder to lift or unable to remain open. Damage to the rod, cylinder or end connections can also affect its operation. Replacement is appropriate when inspection confirms that the damper is weak, leaking or physically damaged.

Check both dampers and the surrounding mounting points before fitting replacements. Renewing an ageing pair together is recommended to avoid retaining one weakened support alongside a new one. Support the hatch independently while carrying out the work.

When to Replace This Part?

• Loss of support: The fully raised lid sinks or will not remain open.
• Increased lifting effort: The hatch feels noticeably heavier than previously.
• Visible deterioration: Inspection finds leakage, rod corrosion, bending or cylinder damage.
• Damaged connections: An end fitting is cracked, loose or no longer seats securely.
• Abnormal operation: Creaking, knocking or uneven movement prompts inspection of the dampers, hinges and mountings.
  
  

Where Is This Part Fitted?

Location: Alongside the rear hatch opening, connecting the vehicle body to the opening lid. The two dampers support the hatch on either side of the rear luggage compartment.

FAQs

• Should both dampers be replaced together? Replacing an ageing pair together is recommended. Inspect the mounting points and hinges at the same time.
• Is this suitable for a Cayman without the Aero Kit? This damper is specified only for cars with option IXAM Aero Kit (Rear Spoiler). Do not assume it suits a standard-spoiler car.
