Center console spring
First post here; made an account because I'm at a dead end. I've had my 2000 S for about 6 months now and all has been great. Of course the center console hinge was completely busted when I got it so I fixed it with that aftermarket repair kit. But it didn't come with a new spring, and the old one was missing before I got the car as far as I know. I can't find any kind of part # for it, nor can I find anyone else who has lost this spring. Any ideas?

There isn't any spring in the centre console that I can think of. Where is it on this diagram?

The only spring I can think of is the one in the lid button.

Strangely I haven't been able to find it in the diagrams, which is also why I can't track down a part # for it. Check this video, though:
At the 0:52 mark you can clearly see the spring; it's coiled around the hinge pin (#14 in that diagram). The spring is shaped pretty weirdly (notice the long "arm" that tucks under the metal bracket) which makes it impossible to just use some generic spring instead |
Did you eventually resolve this? I was looking at the 996 PET and it showed a spring like you mentioned (item 37 in the diagram below), so it appears that you may have a lid from a 996 rather than a Boxster. Spring part number is 996 552 795 01.

Huh, that's weird. Well thanks a ton for figuring that out, I still hadn't managed to find anything
