Clamshell
the_lonely_guy replied to the_lonely_guy's topic in 986 Boxster Convertible Top Issues and Solutions
here's a pic of the part. (sorry about the quality. had to use my cell phone camera) It has the following stamped on it > PA 6< 1 043 094 00 And some wierd symbols. The service guys at the dealership couldn't tell where it came from even after having the part with them for about a week. Any help in this matter and also the clamshell not sitting flush when the top is down is appreciated. Thank you

Clamshell

I will try and get a picture of that part. Regarding the clamshell not sitting flush with the rest of the car when the top is down ... what could the problem be with that. Its ok when the top is up and when I put the top down I have to manually press it down (just a little bit, not a lot of force or anything and then its fine). At first I thought that the broken piece and the clamshell problem were related but service at the dealership took a look at it and said that they were unrelated. -
When the top is up, the clamshell sits flush with the rest of the car. But when the top is down, the clamshell does not sit flush. It sticks up by about a millimeter or two. I have manually press that thing down to make it sit flush. Where could the problem be? Also I found two broken plastic pieces (with the dealer now) that were lying near the water drains underneath the convertible top. Someone at the flat-6 forum said that it was from a guide mechanism from the top found behind the passenger side headrest. But the guys at the dealership had no clue where it came from. Though that person on flat-6 said it was nothing to worry about I wanted to make sure (also since it was plastic I didn't think it was going to be that important) thank you V

On my '03 2.7l, I noticed an oil stain towards the left rear wheel and also on the seal or bolt kinda thing just above that spot. I have never seen any spills or leaks on the drive way or garage floor. This spot is really old I guess since its all sticky and when I rubbed my finger over it all I could pick up was dirt. Could this something that need immediate attention ? The car has 11k miles on it and is almost due for its 15k service
