xGenuine Porsche Upper Radiator Support Bracket 97010666103 - OEM Radiator Mounting Support
The Genuine Porsche Upper Radiator Support Bracket 97010666103 is the OE structural bracket that locates the upper radiator in your Panamera-generation Porsche, giving the rubber mounts a rigid, correctly shaped seat to work against. A straight, undamaged bracket is what keeps the radiator aligned with the fan shroud, AC condenser, and intercooler; a bent or corroded one lets the whole cooling stack shift. At AED 86.00, this genuine Porsche part is available to order from European Auto Spares, and it is the correct foundation for any radiator mounting repair.
What the Upper Radiator Support Bracket Does
The radiator hangs from a set of brackets and rubber mounts that position it precisely within the front structure. The 97010666103 is the upper support bracket: the rigid member that the upper rubber mount seats into, transferring the radiator's weight and vibration loads into the body. Its profile, locating tabs, and bolt holes hold the mount at the exact angle and height Porsche specified, so the radiator sits level and centred.
Symptoms of a Damaged or Corroded Support Bracket
Support brackets suffer from front-end impacts, corrosion in humid or coastal conditions, and damage during clumsy radiator or condenser removal. The symptoms include a radiator that will not sit level even with new mounts, one upper corner visibly lower or further forward than the other, and repeat mount failure on the same side. Technicians sometimes find the bracket bent, its locating tabs cracked, or corrosion thinning the metal where the mount seats. A distorted bracket also misaligns the fan shroud, which can cause the fan blades to rub and produce a loud scraping noise on start-up.

Why the Genuine Porsche Bracket Matters Here
A support bracket looks simple, but its geometry is the datum the whole cooling stack references. The genuine 97010666103 is pressed and finished to Porsche's original specification, with locating features that match the rubber mount's profile exactly. Fabricated or pattern brackets often miss the subtle angles by a fraction, which is enough to leave the radiator cocked or the mount under uneven load, accelerating mount wear and hose-joint stress. The genuine part also carries the correct surface protection for an engine-bay component, resisting the corrosion that thins pattern steel in coastal and humid conditions. For a part that defines alignment, originality is the repair.
Installation Notes
Replacing the upper radiator support bracket means supporting the cooling pack while the old bracket is unbolted, so this is a job for a competent technician rather than a quick driveway fix. With the bracket removed, the rubber mount should always be inspected and usually renewed at the same time, since the two parts wear together and the mount is already exposed. Before refitting, check that the mounting face on the body structure is clean and undamaged, and that the bracket bolts down flat with no rocking. Torque all fixings to specification and confirm the radiator sits level and centred before the fan shroud and covers go back on.
Genuine Porsche 97010666103 vs Generic Brackets

Fair Pricing in AED
The bracket is AED 86.00 with transparent ordering. Replacing a bent bracket is far cheaper than the radiator, shroud, and hose damage a misaligned cooling stack causes.

Available to order from European Auto Spares with UAE-wide delivery, so your workshop can plan the repair around a confirmed genuine part.
Confirm Fitment With Your VIN
Before ordering, send us your complete VIN and our parts team will verify that the 97010666103 matches your exact Porsche variant. If your car uses a different upper support arrangement, we will point you to the correct OE part number instead.
Complete the Job
A new bracket deserves a new mount: pair the 97010666103 with the Genuine Porsche Panamera Upper Radiator Rubber Mount 97010665102, the OE rubber isolator that seats into this bracket. Worn mounts are the most common reason the bracket area is opened up, so replacing both restores the cooling stack to factory condition. While the front end is accessible, it is also sensible to check the AC hardware, such as the Porsche AC Compressor 94812601101. Browse the full Car Cooling System Parts collection for radiators, brackets, and mounts.
The Genuine Porsche Upper Radiator Support Bracket 97010666103 gives your radiator the rigid, correctly shaped foundation its mounts were designed to seat into. At AED 86.00, available to order from European Auto Spares, it is the genuine fix for misaligned cooling stacks, bent mounting hardware, and repeat mount failures. Order the genuine bracket and restore the precise radiator alignment your Porsche's cooling system depends on.

Technician's Advisory: Always inspect the upper radiator rubber mount when replacing this bracket — the two parts wear together and the mount is already exposed. Check the body mounting face for damage before refitting, torque all fixings to specification, and confirm the radiator sits level and centred before the fan shroud and covers go back on. Do not straighten a severely bent bracket as a repair.
FAQs
xFrequently Asked Questions
It is the rigid OE member that the upper radiator rubber mount seats into, transferring the radiator's weight and vibration loads into the body structure. Its profile, locating tabs, and bolt holes hold the mount at the exact angle Porsche specified, keeping the radiator level and centred relative to the fan shroud and condenser.
Common signs are a radiator that will not sit level even with new mounts, one upper corner visibly lower or further forward, or repeated mount failure on the same side. Technicians also find bent locating tabs, cracks, or corrosion thinning the metal. After any front-end impact or cooling-pack removal, the bracket should be checked before refitting.
The 97010666103 is the OE upper radiator support bracket for Panamera-generation applications, but front-end hardware can vary by model year and engine variant. We always recommend VIN verification. Send us your complete VIN before ordering and our team will confirm this is the exact bracket for your car.
Yes. The bracket and the 97010665102 rubber mount wear together, and the mount is already exposed with the bracket removed. Fitting a new genuine bracket against a perished mount leaves the radiator under-damped and accelerates wear of both parts. Replacing the pair restores the cooling stack to factory condition in one job.
This is a brand-new genuine Porsche part supplied in factory packaging, covered against manufacturing defects under the standard genuine parts warranty, and your statutory consumer rights apply in the UAE. If the part arrives damaged or incorrect due to our error, we will replace or refund it. We verify your VIN before dispatch to reduce fitment mistakes.
