    Thanks 1080i...very helpful and saved me a lot of research. Looks like my weekend project this weekend. Dying to get rid of the cig lighter cord.

    This may well be the answer to my '05 hardtop woes, I'll let you know!

    Well, it's great advice. Some DIY jobs make more work than they repair, without proper conditions, materials and tools. To say nothing about learning about bumper repair on you $50K+ automobile!

    I would only recommend them in a set of 4 as well. Winter driving would, IMHO, require it. No good having traction on drive wheels but no steering, for instance. Also completely worthless in braking.

    I used ContiWinterContact TS810 S (Sport) Performance Winter tires and had great success with them this last Winter.

    Glad to hear it, Joe!

    RaggTop at work!

    **** fine idea! I've been blowing it off with high pressure air. It works well to dry whole vehicle prior to waxing as well.

    My dealer ordered parts yesterday after i showed them the Porsche NA TSB. They were unaware of it. On another note, they installed new exhaust clamps and added a tool for manual top control that was missing from the original kit.

    Good to know! I'll still take mine in and have it listened to soon. If you are right, it's not a damaging problem but worth looking into.

    When I started using a microfiber towel, I no longer had that problem! Give it a try.

    This is my first convertable and I want to make sure it lasts .. from your experience (outside of the smell), about how long does this fabric protectant work for? Manufacturers sometimes put ... misleading ... information on their products (lasts a really long time, or only lasts 3 weeks so use more). I never drive the car in rain and keep it parked in a garage. My enemies are fine particle dust and sunlight. I've only had it on there for a month. I drive this car everyday and everywhere. So I should be able to get a good idea real soon. I haven't needed it yet, but will use the RaggTopp cleaner when necessary. So far I've just rinsed it off with hose whilst washing car. I usually wash it every 3 days or so and wax of some sort every 2 weeks. The smell was gone the next day, btw! Do watch what you wash the top with as lint tends to stay easily. I'd suggest a good microfiber towel as they tend to leave no lint behind and are very gentle on surfaces.

    Well, good to know I'm not completely bonkers. I'll keep my eye on this here and elsewhere. Thanks for speaking up, guys!

    I used RaggTopp Fabric Protectant for cloth tops. I cleaned the top first with their RaggTopp Fabric/Vinyl Cleaner and then when completely dry, I masked rubber, plastic and glass areas. I applied 3 full overlapping coats and allowed 20 minutes between. Water beads like nobody's business. Be aware, it takes awhile for the smell to dissipate! Otherwise? Very pleased.

    Is this capability only available on units with NAV?

    On my '05, none of the 3 (also one inside the center console) shut off at any time. Rather disappointing, actually.

    New tires & wheels are on the Boxster. I'm ready for Winter now. Phew....it'll probably never snow now, but that's fine with me! 18x8.5 SSR GT10 BSPL Front 18x9.5 SSR GT10 BSPL Rear Continental ContiWinterContact TS810 S Front: 235/40VR18 N0 Rear: 265/40VR18 N0 [
