Description
Retention cable for the flip-up door on the right side behind the front passenger for Peugeot 3008 vehicles.
Overview
This replacement retention cable is designed for the flip-up door mechanism on the right side behind the front passenger in Peugeot 3008 (first generation). It is a direct-fit spare often searched by its product codes 9683313980 or 8724H8, making it easy for professional technicians and DIY enthusiasts to find and install. The cable restores reliable door retention and release, eliminating slippage, sticking, or failure to latch that compromises usability and safety.
Benefits
- Direct compatibility with Peugeot 3008 I applications—fast identification by OEM code 9683313980.
- Durable construction to withstand repeated opening and closing cycles.
- Easy to install with basic workshop tools and trim removal instruments.
- Cost-effective repair that prevents premature replacement of larger door assemblies.
Replacement Procedure
Recommended steps for swapping the retention cable. Suitable for experienced mechanics and competent DIYers:
- Open the affected door and secure it in a safe, supported position.
- Remove interior trim panels and any obstructions to access the cable route—use plastic trim tools to avoid damaging clips and panels.
- Note the routing and attachment points of the old cable; take photos if needed for reference.
- Unclip or unscrew retaining fasteners at both ends of the cable and detach from catches or levers.
- Install the new cable in the same routing, secure all clips and fasteners, and ensure there is no binding or interference with moving parts.
- Reassemble trim and test the door operation several times to confirm smooth engagement and release.
Mounting Recommendations
- Use appropriate plastic trim tools to prevent damage to interior panels and clips.
- Replace any brittle plastic clips or worn fasteners encountered during disassembly to ensure a secure fit.
- Inspect adjacent components (latches, catches, and linkages) for wear or corrosion and lubricate pivot points with a suitable long-lasting lubricant.
- After installation, check door alignment and latch engagement from both inside and outside the vehicle.
Why The Part Fails Most Often
- Wear And Fatigue: Repeated opening and closing causes internal cable strands or end fittings to fray over time.
- Corrosion: Exposure to moisture and road salts can corrode metal ends or guides, increasing friction and eventual failure.
- Damaged Clips Or Incorrect Routing: Broken plastic clips or improper routing can lead to binding, excessive tension, or premature breakage.
- Impact Or Misuse: Sudden force on the door (slamming, accidental impact) can overstress the cable and attachments.

Notes For Workshop Professionals
This part is typically replaced as a wear item during door mechanism repairs. When replacing the cable, inspect related components such as door catches, hinges, and interior guides. Replacing associated clips and lubricating moving parts will extend service life and ensure consistent operation.
