Description
Cable with lock for the right rear wing doors for CITROËN BERLINGO and PEUGEOT PARTNER I and II. Upper hinge – used.
High-quality replacement control cable and lock assembly for the right-hand rear wing (barn) door, supplied with the upper hinge. This unit is a used OEM part suitable for professional garages and DIY mechanics who maintain Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner models. Commonly searched under the product code 8726C9, this assembly restores reliable door opening and locking action when the original cable, lock mechanism or hinge shows wear or damage.
Function
The cable transmits the mechanical movement from the interior/exterior handle to the door latch and lock mechanism. The assembly includes the lock mechanism and the upper hinge connection, ensuring correct door geometry and smooth operation of the rear wing door. Proper function is essential for secure closure, waterproofing and correct alignment of the rear doors.
Replacement Procedure
- Remove interior trim of the rear wing door to access the lock and cable routing.
- Disconnect any electrical connectors for central locking or switches if present (take care with connectors and clips).
- Unhook the control cable from the interior and exterior handle levers and from the latch assembly.
- Unbolt the lock mechanism and the upper hinge if the hinge is part of the assembly to be replaced.
- Fit the replacement assembly (ensure cable routing is identical to the original and that clips are engaged). Bolt the hinge and lock into correct torque settings and check door alignment.
- Reconnect any electrical connectors and operate the door several times to verify smooth locking and unlocking, then refit the door trim.
Installation Recommendations
- Use proper trim tools to avoid damaging clips and panels.
- Verify door alignment after installation; adjust hinge bolts if necessary to prevent rubbing and ensure proper sealing.
- Lubricate moving parts and latch points with an appropriate lubricant to extend service life.
- Test the lock and handle operation thoroughly before finishing the job.
- If the assembly contains electrical connectors for central locking, handle connectors carefully to avoid pin damage.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
- Wear And Stretching Of The Cable: Repeated use causes the cable to stretch or fray, reducing effectiveness.
- Corrosion And Water Ingress: Exposure to moisture can corrode metal parts and seize moving components, especially in hinge and latch areas.
- Impact Damage: Rear-end impacts or slamming heavy loads into barn doors can deform the hinge or damage the lock mechanism.
- Broken Plastic Clips Or Mounts: Retaining clips that hold the cable or trim in place can break, causing misrouting and premature wear.
