Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for this type of part, the exact replacement procedure may vary depending on the specific car design and door design. For the cable with the rear wing door lock, it is important to carefully compare the old and new part and correctly guide the mechanism without twisting or straining.

1) Before assembly

• Check that part number 8726C8 matches.
• Compare the used part with the old part according to shape, fit, length of the cable and design of the lock.
• Check the condition of the cable for damage, kinks or excessive wear.
• Check the movement of the lock and the mechanical parts so that they are not stiff.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Set of common hand tools
• Screwdrivers and bits for panel removal
• Plastic pry bar for dismantling fillings
• Cleaning agent for mechanical parts
• A suitable lubricant for moving mechanisms
• Work gloves and lighting

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Open access to the door mechanism and carefully remove the cover or interior trim if the part is covered by it.
2. Document the original routing of the cable and the position of the individual fasteners, ideally with a photo before disassembly.
3. Release the old lock and cable guide from the fixing points without using force to avoid damaging the surrounding parts.
4. Remove the original part and compare it with the replacement part including all terminations and attachments.
5. Clean the mounting area and check for damage to the brackets, counters, or mechanism guides.
6. Place the used part in the correct place and run the cable guide along the same route as the original part.
7. Secure all grips and fixings so that the cable guide is not twisted, pinched or stretched.
8. Connect the lock mechanism and manually verify its operation before reinstalling the trim.
9. If the movement of the lock is stiff, check the seat again and, if necessary, lightly treat the moving parts with a suitable lubricant.
10. After verifying correct function, refit all removed covers and trims.

• 4) Post-assembly checks and function verification

  • Try opening and closing the door several times.
  • Verify that the lock closes properly and the mechanism does not engage.
  • Check that the door does not show excessive play and that it closes smoothly.
  • Check that the cable guide does not rub anywhere and remains properly seated even after repeated use.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Part exchange based on similar appearance – always compare the number 8726C8 and the design.
  • Knitted or pinched cable guide – route it exactly like the original piece.
  • Insufficiently cleaned mechanism – before assembly, remove dirt that can impair the operation of the lock.
  • Force installation – if the part does not fit naturally, recheck the orientation and fit.
  • Unproven function before lining assembly – always test the mechanism at idle first.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Normal mechanical wear from frequent opening and closing of doors
  • Corrosion and dirt in the lock mechanism
  • Stiffness of moving parts due to insufficient lubrication
  • Damage of the cable due to tension, kinking or incorrect routing
  • Forcibly closing the door or prolonged use with a partially damaged mechanism
