Why Choose Genuine Porsche 98151255105?
Genuine Porsche Rear Lid Component
98151255105 is an original Porsche component designed for the applicable Cayman rear-lid assembly. The gas strut assists with raising and supporting the rear lid while providing controlled movement during opening and closing.
Correct Rear Lid Support
A worn gas strut can lose supporting force over time. Replacing the applicable strut helps restore the intended support of the rear lid and reduces the risk of a weak lid dropping unexpectedly.
Not a Generic Body Panel Component
Porsche identifies 98151255105 as a Gas-Filled Strut within the rear-lid assembly. Rear Lid Gas Strut is therefore the appropriate product description.
Porsche Cayman 981 Application
98151255105 is documented for compatible Porsche Cayman 981 models, including selected Cayman 2.7, Cayman S 3.4 and Cayman GTS 3.4 applications. Equipment specification should be checked before ordering because rear-lid configurations can differ.
Porsche 718 Cayman 982 Application
The same gas strut is documented in Porsche PET for applicable Porsche 718 Cayman 982 models. Porsche specifies quantity 2 for the applicable rear-lid configuration.
PR 425 vs PR 426
For documented 718 Cayman applications, 98151255105 = PR 426 – Without Rear Window Wiper. Porsche separately lists 98151255106 = PR 425 – With Rear Window Wiper. These references should not automatically be treated as interchangeable.
Gas Strut Specifications
Published technical data gives approximately 557 mm extended length, 168 mm stroke, 8 mm piston rod diameter, 18 mm housing diameter and 300 N nominal extension force. These measurements are useful for identification but should not replace part-number and VIN verification.
Package Contents
Unless EAT's physical package confirms otherwise, advertise 1 x Genuine Porsche Rear Lid Gas Strut 98151255105. Do not automatically advertise the second gas strut, ball studs, hinges, rear lid, mounting bolts, rear-window-wiper components or trim panels as included.
Related Ball Stud
Porsche PET identifies 99916703001 as the applicable gas-strut ball stud in the documented 718 Cayman rear-lid assembly. The ball studs are separate components and should not automatically be advertised as included.
