I have a 987 porsche boxster that s developed a problem with closing the roof.
Porsche boxster 987 roof problems.
In 2005 it was joined in the range by the new cayman fastback coupé project 987c with which it shared the same mid engine platform and many components including the front fenders and trunk lid.
Suspension problems are the second most common reason for a boxster 987 to fail its mot after headlight indicator issues with broken coil springs the culprit in the majority of cases.
This could be interior lights staying on air bag faults seat malfunctions etc.
You can unsubscribe to these at any time.
An unlevel stance is the giveaway for coil spring issues but knocking or groaning noises when manoeuvring or travelling over rough road surfaces are also a bad sign.
Porsche placed the module that controls interior settings under the drivers seat.
The porsche 987 is the internal designation for the second generation porsche boxster sports car.
Often this can be traced back to a single control module.
The roof retracted ok right.
The roof had been closed all winter.

Unfortunately on getting the car home the roof has become stuck in the closed position better than stuck open i guess and the roof warning light is lit on the dash.
About a month ago i went to open the convertible roof first sunny day of the year in ireland and as it opened up and the roof was retracted about half way i heard a sickening snap.
My convertible roof is stuck and not working can i close open it manually.
Hi have a porsche boxster 1998 roof has been working fine until the battery went flat since then the roof has stopped working have checked main rely and that is working ok windows drop when you unlatch the roof but thatãƒâ ã â šâ ã â žâ s as far as it goes.
This problem is most prevalent in boxster models because of the cabrio roof.
On occasion the boxster will exhibit strange and seemingly random electrical misbehavior of interior systems.
It s all ok when putting the roof down but when putting the roof back up it stops about 3 4 times so have to re press.
