Door handle

[jpcox1]

Can you please help

I have recently lost the small colour coded plastic trim from a rear door handle on my 2006 Cayenne S. My wife took the car to our local Porsche dealer expecting to purchase a replacement for a few dollars.

However she was informed that the trim could not be replaced and a whole new handle would be required ($450). This surely can not be correct.

I have made a few google searches but have not been able to locate anyone selling a replacement piece.

Can anyone confirm whether our local dealer is correct or was he trying it on? If this small plastic trim can be purchase separately, can anyone advise where I can get one?

Many thanks

Which part please?

I think that he intended the non available outside door handle trim, Loren.

Yes, its the external door handle trim, I will take a picture and post.

Thanks

Yes, only the door handle shows up in the price list.

955.531.032.00.G2X Door handle prime coated in satin aluminum -- US MSRP $105.87

Perhaps they were quoting an installed price?

or some painting?

Yes the price includes installation. Can not believe they do not sell the small strips separately, stock store rooms must be huge if a door handle in every colour was kept.

Might have to do some scrap yard searches.

There are only 2 or 3 handle colors - they must be painted to match (that is what the G2X means in the part number).

how did you remove the insert

[RFM]

With a very small TORX bit, T10 i thought, not 100% sure about it, the small screw is located on the side of the handle, as you pull the latch open.
