Rear tailgate damper set of 2 for Porsche Cayman 981 and 718 (982), suitable for selected Cayman 987C/981C (2005–2016) and 718C (982C) 2017-on models.
What This Product Does These rear lid gas struts support the Cayman tailgate, controlling its lifting and closing motion so the lid can be opened and held in position during everyday use or access to the luggage area.
Functions
- Support the rear tailgate when open
- Control the lifting and closing speed of the lid
- Help prevent the lid from dropping unexpectedly
- Assist with smooth, consistent tailgate operation
Symptoms of Fault
- Rear lid feels heavy or difficult to lift
- Tailgate drops or will not stay fully open
- Visible oil mist or leakage on the damper shaft
- Creaking or knocking noises when opening or closing the lid
Why Replacement Matters
Worn rear lid dampers can allow the Cayman tailgate to drop or close unpredictably and may make the lid awkward to raise. Replacing tired dampers restores controlled movement of the rear lid, supports routine access to the luggage area, and helps maintain correct operation of the tailgate assembly.

Why Replace Your Rear Engine Lid Damper?
- Over time, the gas strut supporting the engine lid can lose pressure, leading to:
- Engine lid failing to stay open: The lid may fall unexpectedly, posing a risk of injury.
- Difficulty accessing the engine bay: A sagging or dropping lid can hinder maintenance tasks.
- Increased wear on hinges and mounting points: Excessive load due to a weak damper can cause premature wear.
- Replacing the damper restores proper functionality, ensuring safety and ease of access to the engine compartment.
Common Issues with Rear Engine Lid Dampers
- Loss of gas pressure: Over time, the internal gas can leak, reducing the strut's ability to support the lid.
- Corrosion: Exposure to elements can cause rust, compromising the damper's integrity.
- Physical damage: Accidental impacts or wear can damage the strut, leading to failure.

Diagram ref no 11
This pin is inserted through the mounting bracket of the gas strut or damper and into the mounting point on the lid or hinge assembly. A circlip or cotter pin keeps it in place, allowing the strut to pivot correctly while ensuring secure retention. Without a solid pin, the strut could become loose or detached, compromising lid safety and function.
Over time, the pin can become corroded, bent, worn, or lost due to repeated strut motion, environmental exposure (moisture, road spray), and age. A compromised pin may lead to:
• The gas strut mounting becoming loose or detached
• Lid or bonnet not staying open reliably or dropping unexpectedly
• Increased wear on the strut bracket or hinge due to improper pivoting
Replace when:
• The original pin appears rusted, bent, or its retaining clip is missing
• You’re replacing or servicing the gas strut/damper on the bonnet or engine lid
• You’re restoring the bodywork or hinge/strut assembly and want correct, safe hardware
