- Porsche 911 1965-1968 2.0L / 912 SWB (F)
The OE Match Aluminium Rear Engine Lid is a lightweight version of the classic Porsche deck lid, designed for 911 and 912 long wheelbase (LWB) models (1969–1973). It replaces the original steel panel with a lighter aluminium construction.
Fits:
Porsche 911 F 1965 - 1968 SWB (short wheel base)
*** Only for vehicles without a rear window wiper.
This OE Match aluminium rear engine lid is manufactured to replicate the original factory design while offering the benefits of reduced weight. It follows the same fitment and geometry as the standard 91151290302 steel lid, ensuring compatibility with factory hinges, latch systems, and grille components.
Lightweight aluminium engine lids were used on certain performance-focused models such as early 911S variants, where reducing rear weight helped improve handling and responsiveness
The engine lid covers and protects the engine compartment while allowing airflow through the grille for cooling. The aluminium construction reduces weight at the rear of the vehicle, helping improve balance and driving dynamics.
Function
• Covers and protects the engine compartment
• Allows airflow for engine cooling
• Reduces overall vehicle weight (compared to steel)
• Improves weight distribution and handling
Original engine lids may suffer from corrosion, damage, or incorrect replacements over time. Upgrading to an aluminium version offers both restoration accuracy (for certain models) and improved performance through weight reduction. It is especially beneficial for enthusiasts restoring period-correct cars or building lightweight performance-focused classics.
When to replace
• Rust or corrosion on original steel lid
• Accident or structural damage
• Poor panel fitment or alignment
• Weight reduction for performance builds
• During full restoration or upgrade

Rear Tailgate Lock Rubber Seal - Weather Protection & Secure Fit
The Rear Tailgate Lock Rubber Seal is a small but essential
sealing component designed to protect the tailgate lock mechanism from
moisture, dirt, and debris. By creating a tight weatherproof barrier around the
lock, this rubber seal helps maintain smooth lock operation while preventing water
ingress into the tailgate and rear body area.

Available from Design911, rear tailgate lock rubber seals are precision-moulded to match factory specifications, ensuring a correct fit, long-lasting sealing performance, and restored protection for your Porsche.
What Does a Rear Tailgate Lock Rubber Seal Do?
The tailgate lock rubber seal safeguards the lock and surrounding bodywork.
Core Functions:
- Seal the tailgate lock against water and moisture.
- Prevent dirt and debris from entering the lock mechanism.
- Protect against corrosion of the lock and surrounding panel.
- Maintain smooth and reliable tailgate locking operation.
- Reduce wind noise and vibration around the tailgate area.
Correct sealing helps preserve tailgate functionality and body integrity.
Why Do Rear Tailgate Lock Rubber Seals Fail?
Rubber seals naturally degrade over time due to environmental exposure.
Common Causes of Failure:
- UV exposure leading to hardening or cracking.
- Repeated opening and closing of the tailgate.
- Age-related rubber shrinkage or loss of elasticity.
- Water and chemical exposure from cleaning products.
- Physical damage during maintenance or lock repairs.
A failed seal can allow moisture into the tailgate, leading to corrosion and lock issues.
When Should a Rear Tailgate Lock Rubber Seal Be Replaced?
Replacing the seal restores protection and prevents further damage.
Replacement Is Recommended When:
- Cracks, splits, or hardening are visible.
- Water ingress is detected around the tailgate lock.
- The lock becomes stiff or unreliable.
- During tailgate lock or rear trim repairs.
- As part of preventative maintenance on older vehicles.
Timely replacement helps protect both the lock mechanism and rear bodywork.
Key Benefits
- Prevents water and dirt ingress
- Protects tailgate lock mechanism
- Maintains smooth lock operation
- Restores factory weather sealing
- OEM-style fit for reliable installation
