Fuel Cap Flexible Tether. Porsche 986 / 987 Boxster / Cayman / 996 / 997  ❭  RK-CT

The Fuel Cap Flexible Tether by Rennkit is a replacement retaining strap for compatible Porsche 986, 987 Boxster and Cayman, 996 and 997 models from 1999 onwards. It replaces a snapped or deteriorated tether so that the fuel cap remains attached during refuelling.

Fits:

• Porsche 986 Boxster
• Porsche 987 Boxster
• Porsche 987 Cayman
• Porsche 996
• Porsche 997

What This Product Does

This flexible tether secures the existing fuel filler cap to the vehicle, helping to keep the cap away from painted bodywork while the tank is being filled. It provides a practical alternative to replacing an otherwise serviceable fuel cap solely because its original retaining strap has broken.

Functions

• Retains the fuel cap when it is removed for refuelling
• Replaces a broken, brittle or missing original tether
• Helps prevent the loose cap from resting against painted bodywork
• Allows the existing compatible fuel cap to be retained

Why Replacement Matters

Renewing a damaged tether restores the intended retaining function without replacing the complete cap. It also reduces the chance of the cap being dropped, misplaced or placed directly against the paintwork. Before ordering, compare the fitted cap carefully with the product image to confirm that its design and attachment arrangement match.

FAQs

• Does this include a complete fuel cap?
  No. This product is a replacement flexible tether for a compatible existing cap.
• How long does installation take?
  Installation typically takes about ten minutes and involves removing the damaged tether before fitting the replacement.
• How can I confirm compatibility?
  Check the model and year, then compare the existing fuel cap with the product image and attachment arrangement.

  If the cap remains serviceable, replacing the retaining strap restores its convenient attachment without changing the complete cap.
