The Genuine Porsche Front Lid Release Cable 91151106140 is an original equipment replacement bonnet release component designed specifically for Porsche 911 Targa models manufactured between 1970 and 1973.
Fits:
- Porsche 911 1970-1973 2.2L / 2.4L / 2.7L RS LWB (F)

Manufactured to Porsche's original specifications, this release cable provides the mechanical connection required to operate the front luggage compartment lid latch, allowing the bonnet to be opened smoothly and securely using the interior release mechanism.
Also known as a front bonnet release cable or front hood release cable, this component forms an essential part of the front lid locking and release system. When the driver operates the interior release handle, the cable transfers the pulling force to the front bonnet latch, allowing the lid to be opened.
Designed to match the original Porsche configuration, the cable provides the correct routing and length for the specified Targa application, helping maintain factory-standard operation without unnecessary modifications.
Over time, repeated use, moisture exposure, corrosion and general ageing can cause the original release cable to stretch, fray, seize or break. A deteriorated cable may result in difficult bonnet operation or complete failure of the release mechanism.
The Genuine Porsche Front Lid Release Cable provides a direct replacement solution for restoring dependable bonnet operation and preserving the original functionality of your classic Porsche 911.
Ideal for routine maintenance, front luggage compartment repairs and classic Porsche restoration projects, this component helps ensure reliable access to the front luggage compartment and associated service components.
What This Product Does:
The front lid release cable connects the interior bonnet release control to the front luggage compartment latch mechanism.
When the release handle is pulled, the cable transfers mechanical force to the latch, disengaging the locking mechanism and allowing the bonnet to be opened.
Its key functions include:
- Front Bonnet Release: Allows the driver to open the front luggage compartment lid using the interior release control.
- Mechanical Force Transfer: Transfers pulling movement from the release handle to the front bonnet latch.
- Reliable Latch Operation: Helps ensure the bonnet release mechanism disengages correctly when operated.
- Convenient Luggage Compartment Access: Enables access to the front luggage compartment and associated service areas.
- Smooth Cable Operation: Provides controlled mechanical movement within the release system.
- Correct Cable Routing: Maintains the factory-specified cable arrangement for the Porsche 911 Targa.
- Release Mechanism Support: Works with the bonnet latch, return spring and associated components to provide consistent operation.
- Original Equipment Functionality: Restores the original manual bonnet release arrangement.
- Preventative Maintenance: Replaces deteriorated cables before complete failure prevents normal bonnet access.
- Genuine Porsche Fitment: Provides original equipment compatibility with the specified front lid release system.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Over time, repeated operation, moisture, dirt contamination and general ageing can cause the original bonnet release cable to deteriorate.
Common signs include:
- Difficulty Opening the Front Bonnet: A stiff, corroded or damaged cable may require excessive force to operate the release mechanism.
- Loose or Ineffective Release Handle: A stretched, detached or broken cable may cause the interior release handle to feel unusually loose.
- Excessive Handle Travel: Cable elongation or incorrect adjustment may require the handle to be pulled further than normal before the latch releases.
- Bonnet Not Releasing: A snapped, seized or disconnected cable can prevent the front luggage compartment lid from opening.
- Intermittent Latch Operation: A damaged or poorly adjusted cable may release the bonnet inconsistently.
- Stiff Release Mechanism: Internal cable corrosion or friction within the outer casing can make the release handle difficult to pull.
- Frayed Cable Strands: Visible broken or frayed strands indicate deterioration and an increased risk of cable failure.
- Corrosion on the Cable: Moisture exposure can cause rust or oxidation, increasing friction and weakening the cable.
- Damaged Outer Cable Casing: Cracks, splits, kinks or deformation in the cable housing may restrict smooth movement.
- Cable Binding or Sticking: The inner cable may catch or resist movement due to internal wear, contamination or incorrect routing.
- Release Handle Not Returning Correctly: A binding cable or faulty associated return mechanism may prevent the handle from returning smoothly.
- Sudden Loss of Cable Tension: A sudden change in handle resistance may indicate that the cable has snapped or become disconnected.
- Difficulty Operating the Latch After Adjustment: Excessive wear may prevent reliable operation even when the release mechanism has been adjusted.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Replacing a worn or damaged front lid release cable is an important part of maintaining the convenience, reliability and original functionality of your classic Porsche 911 Targa.
- The front bonnet release mechanism relies on a secure mechanical connection between the interior release handle and the bonnet latch. If the cable becomes stretched, corroded, frayed or seized, the release mechanism may no longer operate consistently.
- A deteriorated cable can make opening the front luggage compartment increasingly difficult. If the cable breaks completely, the bonnet may become inaccessible through the normal release mechanism, potentially requiring specialist intervention to open it.
- Reliable bonnet access is particularly important on classic Porsche 911 models because the front luggage compartment contains important service and storage areas, including access to components such as the fuel tank and spare wheel.
- A correctly fitted Genuine Porsche replacement cable helps restore smooth mechanical operation, ensuring the pulling force from the interior release handle is transmitted effectively to the bonnet latch.
- Replacing a damaged cable before complete failure can help prevent inconvenient access problems and potentially more complicated repairs.
- Maintaining correct cable operation also reduces the need to apply excessive force to the release handle, which may otherwise place additional stress on the handle, cable connections and latch mechanism.
- For classic Porsche owners, preserving original equipment functionality is an important aspect of maintaining the vehicle's authenticity and usability.
- During restoration or front bodywork refurbishment, replacing ageing release cables provides an opportunity to inspect the bonnet latch, return spring, mounting hardware and cable routing for wear or damage.

Application: Replacement of failed, worn, corroded or misaligned hood/boot latch; essential when restoring exterior hardware or after accident repairs; recommended when the latch shows play or fails to keep bonnet secure.
This latch provides a secure locking point to keep the front hood firmly closed, preventing accidental opening while driving. It ensures the bonnet sits correctly when shut, maintaining proper body alignment and sealing. The latch is engineered for strength and durability, withstanding repeated use and environmental exposure. By replacing a worn, corroded, or faulty original latch, it restores factory-level safety, reliability, and proper hood operation.
