Door stop pin availability

[mike sampsel]

Anyone know if the door stop pin is available?
My pins are not great, one works it’s way up and out over time, the other is too fat to seat properly.

It should be but Porsche seems to have discontinued the part in the PET without superceding it. Try googling part# 91153127500

6mm bolt and nylock nut. Tighten until the snapping stops.

I went down this road as well. Original door stops worked well, but the pins clicked. Bought new OE Porsche door stops and they were soo stiff (at the stop detents) I was concerned of damaging the door, and the pins were too tight to fit the car correctly.

Wound up modifying the stop detents to make them less stiff and used John Walkers's bolt suggestion. Works great now

I had the pin in the door fly out of hole today, and used a 6 mm bolt and lock nut. Very pleased with the result. Much better than those nasty pins!
