Had a chance to look into the issue, and it's the plastic cover that is causing the problem. If you remove that cover, the line has ZERO stress. Was thinking of just leaving those 2 parts (one on each side) off, but if you get close to the car and get your head close to that corner from the outside (inside it's completely unnoticeable), the 'hole' looks a bit ungainly, although I'd say nobody would notice. But since I'm a bit of an OCD on keeping things looking OEM, found the answer. When you take that part off, you'd notice a 'ridge' around where the hose goes, preventing it from moving (pretty obvious when you remove it). So removed that 'ridge' with a drill bit (by hand, not in a drill). Put it on, and it was still quite stressed, so noticed it was the 'channel' inside the plastic part that was forcing the line to that shape. Before continuing, this problem mainly exists when hood is open. Then I removed that 'channel' in both sides with needle-nose pliers, first breaking the plastic from the vertical part, then twisting it to break the base off. Used an 'x'acto knive to remove all burrs, and part looks stock. Put it on again, and what a difference. The line is a bit stressed still, since you have to push it forward to latch the plastic part to the hood. But since the line can now be at an angle, the stress is minimal. If you do this when the line is still good, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't break for the rest of the car's life. That's what I did. But if you're lazy to do that, removing those plastic parts completely eliminates the stress on the line, and you'd absolutely never have an issue if you do that. Porsche clearly didn't design that part right. And it might be the same story with 911s, but haven't checked one yet. At any rate, hope Porsche reads this, to make that small change to the part, and avoid lots of future warranty claims, since I'm sure 718s have the same issue, since they're basically a 981.2. Hope this helps folks. Oh, and will post pictures later. Took a few, but need to email them to me, and then post them here.
