Description
Cable with lock for right rear wing doors for Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner I and II. Lower hinge – used.
High-quality used door lock cable assembly for the right-hand rear wing door of Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner models. This component combines the latch lock mechanism with the lower hinge mounting and is a direct-fit replacement for vehicles that require part number 8726C7. Ideal for professional workshops and DIY mechanics seeking a cost-effective repair that restores proper door closing and locking function.
Key Benefits
Reliable mechanical replacement that restores door operation and security. Fits original mounting points and maintains factory alignment of the wing door. Using an OEM-fit used unit reduces repair time compared with rebuilding the original mechanism and keeps costs lower than a new genuine assembly.
Applications
Designed for the right-hand rear wing (kicking-style) door on the following models:
- Citroën Berlingo I
- Citroën Berlingo II
- Peugeot Partner I
- Peugeot Partner II
How It Works
The cable transmits the mechanical movement from the exterior/interior handle to the latch assembly. The lower hinge portion provides the pivot and mounting support for the wing door, ensuring correct alignment and smooth opening/closing. When functioning correctly, the cable and hinge keep the door sealed and locked in all positions.
Replacement Procedure
General steps for replacement (recommended for experienced mechanics or trained technicians):
- Open the rear wing door and support it securely to avoid damage while removing the hinge.
- Remove interior trim panels as required to access the latch and cable routing.
- Disconnect the cable end from the interior/exterior handle and from the latch mechanism.
- Unbolt the lower hinge from the body and door, retaining fasteners if serviceable.
- Fit the replacement cable and hinge in the reverse order, ensure correct routing and smooth operation before final tightening.
- Check door alignment and latch engagement; adjust hinge position if necessary.
Installation And Recommendations
Use appropriate hand tools and follow safe lifting/support procedures for the wing door. Inspect surrounding components (upper hinge, striker, latch) and replace any corroded fasteners. After installation, verify smooth opening, closing and secure locking at multiple positions. Lubricate moving pivot points with suitable door hinge grease. If rust or body distortion is present, address corrosion before final assembly to avoid premature wear.
Why This Part Most Commonly Fails
Common failure causes include moisture and road salt leading to corrosion of the cable end fittings and hinge pivots, mechanical wear and fraying of the cable inner strand, impact damage from slamming or collisions, and misalignment that increases loading on the hinge and cable. Symptoms are difficulty opening or closing the wing door, intermittent latch engagement, rattles, or the door not locking properly.
