Best method to open the engine hatch?
oldhoo replied to Westcoaster's topic in 987-1 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Indeed, the speaker connection for the Bose speaker box is a tight fit. The connection comes unlatched by depressing the plastic latch on each side of the connection. There is so little room in the speaker box trap door that I have to get one side unlatched at a time and then pull the connection apart (eassier said than done - I usually get skinned fingers from the left side of the trap door opening). This is all done by feel since it is out of sight. Likewise, reconnecting is done by feel. However, once the coneection is lined up it is easier to push the connection home that it was to get it unlatched. It is the most tedious portion of accesing the engine. Fads, Thanks for the info - I'll give it another try. You mention that the speaker box has a "trap door". There does not seem to be a trap door that I readily see on the box in my car. How do I locate this trap door? Thanks again. -

To access the engine compartment I have followed the manual instructions to the step to remove the Bose speaker box. It says to disconnect the speaker wires at the disconnect plug just outside and below the speaker box. On my car this connector is located INSIDE the speaker box and there is not enough slack in the speaker wires to provide room to get a look inside the box to view the connector in order to get it apart - and I am afraid if I am able to get it apart I will have problems getting it back together. Any ideas on how to proceed? 2007 Boxster S 6-speed, Carmon Red w/Cocoa top & leather
