Porsche boxster soft tops from 1997 2012 have a couple of failure points.
Porsche boxster roof not opening.
The push rods e below may have a white plastic ball joint and not red this will be one of the later revised parts and is normal.
Both windows go down a quarter on roof retraction which is normal but then keep going into totally open position then won t go back up.
This causes the top to.
Upon stopping and applying the parking brake i discovered that the roof will not open at all.
Boxster roof will not open can you please help i was driving home today when the roof open indicator suddenly became lit on the dashboard.
The early style convertible top transmissions have been replaced with a more reliable later style one.
If roof is closed and opened a few times sometimes.
My convertible roof is stuck and not working can i close open it manually.
Do not try and open close the convertible top using the switch once you have disconnected the rods.
Enjoy the videos and music you love upload original content and share it all with friends family and the world on youtube.
For someone that has never troubleshot a roof system before this can be difficult.
One is when an elastic strip on each side loses its stretch.
I doubt the roof switch has any influence over this other than telling the brain the roof is being opened.
