  1. JFP, Thanks for the reply, but just to be clear, it's not the removal I'm worried about. It's replacing with a new part that I'm struggling with. Have you any thoughts in that please? Cheers, Doug.
  2. Hi. I wonder if anybody could help please. The passenger side Headlight corner trim triangle on my 1998 Boxster had a very small crack in it and was full of water so I've bought a new one to replace it as I was worried about water ingres into the main headlight unit. I've managed to get the main headlight unit out, without a problem and have put it back in a few times without issue. However, when I came to pop the old corner trim off, i thought it would be quite straight forward but it was very stiff and actually in trying to get it off, a couple of the tabs (of the corner trim which needs to be replaced) have snapped off. This isn't too much of an issue as I'm replacing it. However, when trying to get the new part snapped into place, i cannot see how this is possible as the two distinct parts of the unit that need to align correctly seem to be impossible to align. There are three main clips.....and these locate over three corresponding clips in the main headlight unit. Then there are two pins (one slightly larger than the other) and a sort of runner clip. It seems to me that you either align with the clips (which would then make it nigh on impossible to align the runner and pins), or vice versa - with a similar effect.If I insert the pins in the corresponding holes for example, the clips are way to low to engage with corresponding clips in the main unit - even with a bit of vaseline applied. If anybody knows the best/ correct way of snapping this part into place without breaking anything, I'd be extremely grateful if you could let me know as I'm stumped. Many thanks, Doug.

  5. Loren, thank you very much....I'll give it a go and let you know how I get on.
  6. Hi all, I've just bought a Becker CDR-22 from ebay, to replace the non-OEM stereo in my recently purchased Boxster. Unfortunately the seller is in the vehicle stripping business and doesn't have the code. The model is BE 4467 and the Serial is X5020837 If anybody could please help me to recover the correct code, it would be very much appreciated. Cheers, Doug.
