With the front part of the wheel well liner off, it is IN the passenger fender, up towards the hood, but not that high. It does work it's way into a crevice, but is easily retrieved. Easier if the wheel is off.

Marlon, mis-understanding does not constitute hyjacking no problem

early (pre 01 i think) had a manual cable for the luggage compartment.
My year (01) was first year for electronic compartment release.

if Dr. Porsche were alive he would not stand for everything going electronic!!

savannah996

believe me i looked all over the effin place! It had to have slid up into a crack.
also=my car was in a minor front end accident (2 previous owners ago). im pretty sure the bumper cover was replaced. but there is a chance it wasnt put back and or was damaged.

like i said earlier i will be working on it thursday the 20th am. jacking up and all!

savannah996

oh ok. where do you keep your wheel lock so i can take the tire off?

ivangene

should be in with the jack - inserted inside the spare

savannah996

uh yeeeeeeeah

meanwhile back in the batcave=====

I got it!!!!!! the cable was no where in sight. i had to feel into the dark. but i got it! yeah! now to fix the problem.=
my release cable is loose so it has broke or failed around the pull motor.

What have we learned here about photo opportunities and Porsche aluminum hoods...

ivangene

so its open .... right ??

OH - hahaha I just thought about the wheel lock... that wont work will it - anyhow if its open make sure you have the lock and know where it is for the future

My MY00 has the older manual style, and I'm glad! I can see having an electronic CLOSE feature (so you don't have to get a hand print on the hood to close it), but I can manually pull the lever when I want my hood or trunk opened, thank you Dr. Porsche!

Marc Gelefsky

Bah!! I am VERY fond of the remote release on my key for the trunk!
And thie manual handles take such a beating.

savannah996

lol! yeah i know

yes it is open now.
i have a broken release cable. will need to order one.
The evil artifact can now be locked in the warehouse Artie!

AndyK

At least you can buy one of thoese cool "911" keys with the trunk release, and actually open the trunk with it.

Do you live somewhere that you think really needs wheel locks? I ditched mine as soon as I bought the car. No one is going to steal Porsche wheels around here, and I want to be able to take the wheel off anytime I want. Replacement bolts from the dealer were like $4 each, a no brainer for me. And I actually now have 2 sets cause I bought 7mm spacers from FVD with longer bolts.

Hey Torontoworker..the hood is steel, or else Porsche invented magnetic aluminum...

ivangene

What- you have a steel hood.... I would be pissed
