Boxster Battery dead, How Can I open the front trunk.
Gent replied to Demiano's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
There's a good bit of cable there. I relocated mine to inside the tow hook receiver. It's hidden under the plug, and a heck of a lot easier to access in the event of a failure. -
This was the first symptom in what turned out to be a degrading clutch for my 2k Boxster.

Which Radar Detector?
Gent replied to goldgun's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
I have the V1, but I've been saved more often by a local traffic radio station that broadcasts trap locations as part of their updates every 10 minutes. That and not needing to be in front, lol. I've had some great runs after letting another guy get a km or 2 ahead of me. That works great except in WA state. Bloody troopers cheat and nail multiple vehicles instead of just the leader (like the Mounties). :D -
Fold points pilling
Gent replied to Gent's topic in 986 Boxster Convertible Top Issues and Solutions
I've used raggtopp and renovo with good effect. I like being able to brush on the renovo. The pilling is likely due to the previous owner using soap on the roof, apparently. The first time I hosed off the top, I was distressed to see suds coming off the top. Soap was right into the material. -
Car Covers - to protect from Tree sap
Gent replied to petee c's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
How cheap is cheap? I bought one for $100 (CAD) years ago on EBay, and it hasn't let me down. It's not the fancy, socks-on-the mirors kind, but it has elastic around the bottom and stays on the car even with 60+kph wind. Waterproof, breathable, soft and fuzzy inside. Getting it back inside the tiny bag it came in is a laugh, but I keep it in the bonnet just in case. -
Hi gang, I replaced the window on my 2000 boxster's top 2 years ago. Everything has been fine; however I noticed the following issue developing in the fabric: Recently, the fold points in the rear quarters have begun to show as permanent creases. In points along these creases, the surface has begun to "pill", with the appearance being a bit fuzzy. I don't know if the previous owner was sealing the top, but I do in the early spring and fall. Any suggestions on removing the fuzz, or steps to preserve the material? I've removed pilling from other fabrics by carefully shaving the surface with a plain old men's razor. I'm considering doing the same thing here despite a queasy nervous feeling.
