Push Rod Repair.
Couple of other options to replace the plastic ball ends with metal:
1. "URO PARTS 10 8693 010"
2.

FOR PORSCHE 986 987 BOXSTER CONVERTIBLE TOP BALL PIN PUSH ROD REPAIR PART | eBay
3.Or the China source on Fleabay for the same/similar item - Search term " Stainless M8 Rod end" both ends are M8. These are use on some gas springs for hoods/trunks. Can substitute 8mm for M8 of course.
I found some as low as $4 for 2 ! How much did Porsche save by using plastic instead -really?
