Awesome, thanks guys for the simple to follow guide. I replaced my hood with a later hood with a glass window. The retaining bolts did take a bit of time to align, but other than that pretty straightforward.
Wich year is your 986?
Good guide to a job that seems a lot easier than you might think it is. 8 bolts, one electrical connector and some clips on parts to release and only 2 tools! Very helpful.
After two years of searching for one locally, I finally found a hard top! I'm removing my soft top permanently and this is a great video!
Great video.
Kept it nice and simple and also got through it all nice and quickly so nice to watch.
Brilliant. Thanks.
Super easy to follow video. Thanks a ton for making the time to create and share this.
Thanks for the informative video. My 1998 also had two phillips screws on each side in addition to the three bolts. Also a switch attached to top by a torx screw.
Thank you
Man guys thank you for the video helps a great deal and keep the videos coming .
Thank you. Excellent video explanation. I was worried about your watch getting damaged 😄
LOL! You're welcome!
Exceptionally well done video. Thank you, sir!
Exactly the same. Thousands of thanks.
Great job guys. You made it look very simple, which it is once you see it done. Thank you 👍
That middle, recessed bolt is a hard one to do. Need a long socket 😉
Great video!
Awesome video!!
Awesome video! Thanks!
There are 2 more small, black Philips screws on each side and one more sensor on driver side held with T15 screw. That was on 98 manual base Boxster anyway. Video was helpful nevertheless, thank you!
Thank you for showing....
Great video, thanks
Awesome, thank you sir.
Thank you!!!
Hello, very good video and well explained, I replaced with your video an original hood of a 98 for one also original of 2003 and now the metal lid does not close as if it were thicker when closing, they tell me that they are compatible, you Did you change any of those models? or do you know if they are actually compatible? thanks and greetings from Spain
Do you happen to know if these same steps would be used on a 2004 996? It seems as though it should be the same/similar. I’m looking to replace my entire convertible assembly with another used, different cover top. Mine has a rear glass window. Great video!!!
THANK YOU
My plastic window was missing on one i bought and didnt feel like shelling out 2K for a new one
good video, I think my passenger side (left hand drive) Transmission motor has failed so it only rotates on the driver side. Do you think undoing that 10mm bolt as in your vid will be a good idea to test it or what should i Check?Thanks
Hi!
There are two elastic lines with plastic hook attached to the soft top lining, one on each side, near the roll bar. Do you know where they are attached to?
Hi do you have any vids or info on how to adjust the push rods
Regards Terry
Hi, would you be able to make a video on how to remove and reinstall the convertable top transmission. In particular how to make sure it's adjusted properly and how to make sure the gears are in the right position when reinstalling.
When we get another Boxster in that we plan on keeping together instead of parting out, we can make that happen.
one side of the hard top won’t go back in place would it be the push rod that isn’t working ? it’s like tilted it’s not evenly all the way in .
Hi can you tell me how to remove the headrest storage compartment with the sliding doors
Just wanna let you know.There's also two philip screws on each side, holding it to the frame .
Replacing the top you will want it in the exact same partially retracted angle in order to attach to the motor correctly right?
It is the same for a 987 boxster?
Please make a similar video for a 996!
We just missed the opportunity on a 2000 911 Cabrio we just parted out, but definitely for the next one!
What was the connector you unplugged ?
You ever figure this out? Might doesnt seem to hook back up to anything
What is the sensor @4:25 it doesnt seem to actually connect to anything
For the rear screen de mister if you have a glass one.
I can't get the damn sensor unclipped. The wires coming out from underneath the scensor are getting in the way, plus the metal frame of the top itself just beneath where the scensor is clipped in. Those are both in the way, the clip will not budge when I pull down on it
I couldnt either had to take off the plastic panel with carpet on it behind the seat
Use a nice sharp Rambo knife
Only once I'd smashed it out did I notice the small tab/latch at the top that needs to be pushed to one side while pulling from underneath. Dumb thing was the hardest part of the job.
Eventually I chiseled it out as it appeared to be a plug going into the back of an unused socket, rear glass demister? I can't imagine regretting it.
Anyone figure out what this sensor is for? Mine doesnt seem to plug into anything
@@LukePuplett Anyone figure out what this sensor is for? Mine doesnt seem to plug into anything
Thanks! Because race car.
How the fuck do you unplug the convertible motor plug, I feel like I’m going to break mine.
