The release latches on my 996 looked pretty shabby:



A quick search yielded this helpful thread from a few years ago - https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...e-latches.html

I decided to be a little lazy and I did the job without removing the whole unit (I left the bowden cables and electrical connector in place), which in retrospect is probably a mistake. There's enough play to get to everything, but removing and putting back on the clips and springs is a royal pain. If I were going to do it again, I'd follow the directions exactly instead of trying to save time and energy.

I did get to see some handwritten numbers inside:



I used a generic silver paint which matches very closely to the original color. I'll probably create some stickers on clear labels to match the original handles, at some point. I'm quite pleased with the final result:



I'm tempted to do my inside door handles next.

Very nice and what a difference.

Nice, mine could use a little love too.

Nice work, certainly an improvement. Mine need to be repainted as well.
