Decklid Release Cable

Product Details

The decklid release cable is one of those parts you never think about until the day the engine lid will not pop open. On 1989 to 1998 911, 964, and 993 cars, the original cable stretches, frays, and can seize over decades of use, turning a simple pull of the release into a fight, or leaving the decklid stuck altogether.

This is a direct replacement for the factory decklid release cable, OE part 993 512 063 00. It restores clean, reliable operation so the engine lid releases the way it should, every time. A small, inexpensive part that solves a genuinely annoying problem and keeps a classic 911 working the way it was meant to.

FAQ

Q: What does this cable do?

A: It operates the engine decklid (rear lid) latch release. Pulling the interior release tensions this cable to pop the decklid open.

Q: Why would I need to replace it?

A: The original cables on these cars are decades old and tend to stretch, fray, or seize, which makes the decklid hard to open or stops it releasing entirely. A fresh cable restores normal operation.

Q: Does this fit my car?

A: It fits 1989 to 1998 911, 964, and 993 models and replaces OE 993 512 063 00. Check the Fitment Guide tab and contact us if you are unsure before ordering.

Q: Is this a direct replacement?

A: Yes. It replaces the factory cable and uses the original routing and attachment points.
