Fix and done! Thanks TI, Loren and other members who chimed in for the instruction and diagram.

@ 6 am this morning, I'm in the garage tinkering with the wiper arm and following the instruction I got from the other forum. Now everything is working...took me only 15 mins :cheers:

In case one of you run into this situation here's what the member told me:

Use something like a very small flathead screwdriver blade to pop/pry off the black cap that covers the wiper spindle. There's a slot on one edge where you can insert it. You will see a hex nut that secures the wiper arm to the rotating spindle. If it has backed off so far that the arm is not grabbing the splines, I suppose it would not rotate. If you are lucky, that may be all that is wrong, and you just need to re-seat the arm on the spindle and tighten the nut down. I think you need a 13mm socket.

Where is the bolt located? is it from the top?

The wiper seems to lag behind and when you push it, it will catch up.

Kristian

Check the bolt that holds the wiper - it's likely loose.

Yah...when I pusjh it, it catch up. I will follow the diagram and will post the result later on. Thanks guys!

Thank you very much, Loren. I appreciate the diagram :-)

Hi All,

My wiper arm on the driver side is loose and only the passenger side is moving. Is there a thread for this issue? If there's none, I would really appreciate it if someone could chime in on how to tighten it and what told do I need.

Thank You very much in advanced,

YES...it works....thanks Loren :-)

I know I've asked this before but my car got repainted and I lost the paper where I put the code :-(

T/P and Henry...my front trunk latch release is sticky, can I bring it there and see if it could be fix first before I order the parts or is anyone out there would happen to have an extra front latch release that would like to sell? Also my airbag light is on :(

When you twist the release bolt with the tool, it should pop out a little but if you twist it all the way, it will sort of lock the headlight back in again, just turn it back half a turn and pull it out.

when I did change my headlight unit this happen to me and it took me a while to figure it out that when you turn all the way, it will lock again and it cost me a tool w/c is $20 @ dealer and found out that I could just use a reg. 5mm hex key :(

A 99' Boxster S? are you sure it's an S? I thought they start the upgrade on 2000 and up....

coo...i'll see you guy's then :)

BTW...it's Gerry!

will it be okay to go, just to watch and learn and probably ask some few pointers? and also to meet local Boxster owners :)

Hey guys, yesterday i was getting on the freeway and i turned right semi aggressively and accelerated at the apex of the turn to 5500 rpms and hear this Hissing noise that grew louder as i accelerated....Now i hear it everytime i accelerate to 5500 rpms or when i turn right and accelerate alittle into the turn, I also hear it then.

The noise isnt a solid hissing noise like hiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssssssssssssssssssss..... Its more like hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss, and as the rpms go up, the hissing gets more rapid.

Sorry, I dont know how to explain it any better.

probably the engine mutated into turbo type and youjust didn't know it yet :) j/k....it's Friday, Sunny outside and this weekend, it's 74 degree..wohooo! i'm going for a drive

The service advisor works on commission. The more he recommends the more he makes..

If your car does not need warranty work, do not step into a dealership, period.

i totally agree with you! I took mine for a 45K service, change fuel filter, drain my coolant and put a new one, change my brake fluids..

warranty work:

-change camshaft cover

-fix my seatbelt

-clear the air bag light

-change the 2 clear side marker

total cost: $2525 (labor:1925 parts:600)

warranty covered: $1500

out of pocket: $1025

the first and last time i'm bringing my car to the dealer....at first i thought the service advisor is throwing in the clear side marker, but no...got charge for it. last week, i bought clear tail light and asked them how much would they charge if I have them install it (just to see if they re going to give me a break), they said it will cost me around $185 (it will take them over an hour to install it and they charge $150 per hr.) i said, that s cool...went home lurk around in the forums, check out threads in regard of tail light...and them..BAMMMM, install it my self and took me 45mins.....
