Top keeps breaking....
Rich Sanders replied to Pulseguy's topic in 987-1 Boxster Convertible Top Issues and Solutions
This may seem way to obvious, but could be worth a mention. I broke these parts once, but it was my own dumb fault. The center latch at the top of the windscreen had NOT QUITE cleared the housing that it locks into. It thought it cleared, but hadn't. The overlap created just enough tension on the acuator linkages to to break them. In the process though, the latch at the windshield DID clear out of the housing. Had I not actually seen the momentary binding at the windscreen latch housing, I would know how this happened. It is for this reason that I never open the the top while the car is moving. I remain concerned that a bump in the road could recreate the same overlap between the windsceen frame housing and the latch. Make sure these parts are clear of each other before lowering the top. I even push up on the top a little to be sure, and to release any tension that may exist between the front edge of the top that the windshield frame. -
I am the second owner of a 2008 base model Cayenne. The maintenance guideline that came with the vehicle was for the S and Turbo. At the time of purchase, I took it into my local Porsche dealer for the 36k mile maintenance and was told that the intervals for major service on the 6 cylinder gen II models was at 36 and 72k (unlike the 8 cylinders). And also that the service at 48 and 60k was a minor service. If anyone can confirm this, or post a pdf of the printed mainentance schedule for the Gen II V6, it would be most appreciated. I don't seem to be able to locate this information anywhere within the downloadable files on this site. Thanks in advance.
