98 Boxter Soft Top Failure
nixbxtr replied to nixbxtr's topic in 986 Boxster Convertible Top Issues and Solutions
I haven't been able to locate a kit...Can anyone provide a list of the part numbers that commonly wear, bend, or break in this situation? Thanks. -
Well it finally happened...After 8+ years of flawless operation, my convertible top made the hideous popping sound that I've been reading about and is now stuck in the up position. When attempting to lower the top, the right side of the clamshell raises, while the left side doesn't move. From what I can gather from this forum, it sounds like I've probably got a busted cable and push rod coupling. Since this repair sounds like it's going to be a real pain in the a$$, my question to the experts is: What parts do you recommend I replace (besides the broken ones ;) ) to hopefully get another 8 years of hassle free service out this thing? I'd like to replace all the parts in one shot so I don't have to mess with this again anytime soon. Also, is there a kit available with all of the replacement parts? I thought I saw mention of one in a prior post. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
