I suscefully change my roof, thanks for the guide!

Exactly what I needed! Thanks

Hi thank you sooo much, some people say need to wait two weeks before opening is this true? Thanks so much best videos

Great Video. The details and tips helped me to change out my top on my 1998 Boxster. Had very little issues and it turned out amazing. Thank you.

Awesome. I have to replace my rotors and pads this week. How do you like the rotors that you used in this video and thank you for a informative video.

Issue: After replacing top, when raising roof the B Pillar & Roof Frame don’t align correctly they are separated by 4mm instead of flush Details: 1. 1999 Boxster 2. Replaced roof with Sunset AutoTopsDirect Acoustic Plastic Window Top 3. It seems like there is an obstruction as I cant apply force for it to align Appreciate any guidance to fix this.

Great vid. Thanks for posting

I guess I’m the only person who has male threaded tie rod ends

good video. thanks!

Ive never used drain plug seal when I change my oil.957 cayenne. No oil spills ever. No clue why people use those. You're talking about the thin copper washer right?

Awesome to hear! Makes me happy y’all are taking on this doable DIY

Just finished installing the top on my '99 Boxster. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

I’m debating on weather or not I’m capable of doing this myself or taking it to the shop

I was also told from the Porsche dealer it was normal in my Spyder but it’s REALLY annoying.

Steven - I know this is 7 years old but I'm in Houston as well, and i was wondering if there is any chance you guys offer help to locals (if I brought the car to you). Or would you do a top swap for a charge? I'm new to the Boxster as this is my Daughter's car and close to a project car. If you don't want to mess with it, is there anyone in town you recommend. I'm out I-10 West at the Betway. Thanks!!

Did you replace the o ring ? If so do you have the part number for it ?

Hi, I enjoyed the vid v much. I have one question. Can a Gen 2 987 Caymen with no Limted Slip Diff be retrofitted with an LSD? How difficult or easy is the job?

Thank you for doing this. Took me about 12 hours to complete but never would have done it without this video. I did cut a little too much off the corners but I got it tucked in with some extra care. Also, because I could see the end result I sped up my removal with a razor. Cut the whole top off the. The parts were easier to see.

how many miles does this car have? like 13? :D

Thank you, Steven, for creating this outstanding video. I replaced the top on my Boxster following this video, and I'm currently replacing the top on my son's Boxster. I don't think I could have done it without this video - the written instructions from the top supplier do not make much sense. The step at about minute 5:00 in the video where the cord (with fabric sewn around a plastic cord) goes into the vertical metal slot is difficult, I struggled with this the first three times, then the fourth time went much easier using these steps: 1) The plastic cord sticks out at each end of the fabric, that cord on the leading edge tends to come out of the open areas of the slot, then jams. Push the plastic cord back until it's flush with the fabric on the leading side; let the extra cord hang out the back end. The fabric helps keep the plastic cord from slipping out of the groove. 2) The fabric is not stitched tight against the cord all the way to the end, this can cause the fabric to flare out in the open areas of the slot and also jam. Apply a little bit of superglue at the fabric end, clamp the fabric together and let it cure. This keeps the fabric tight against the cord while sliding into the slot. 3) Apply a little vaseline in the slot, especially each location where the open areas close back together, and on the fabric that slides into the slot. 4) Don't tug hard on the top fabric below the cord, that can tear the cord flap where it is sewn to the top. Instead, hold the top with your entire hand where the cord flap is sewn to spread the load when you tug on it. Don't tug hard in any case; if it's stuck, back up a little and try again. 5) Check that the entire length of the cord is straight while sliding it into the slot. If you're thinking "oh no, don't use superglue or vaseline", those were both suggested by tech support at the top supplier and they helped tremendously with this step. I hope this helps anyone else struggling with sliding the cord into the slot.

hardest engine pull Iv ever seen Fuck that, hope I never have to do one. Leanr a lot about how to work on a Porche if I get one, though.

That 13mm bolt on the linkage at the box is drilled for a safety wire !!!!! Use it !!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

14:48 were you able to find a plastic bracket that goes on top of the rooftop mines is broken. I can’t seem to find anywhere to replace that part.

Great video, but turn off the damn music! It's annoying as hell while trying to listen.

Why not leave the paper on top of the decal until the decal has setup and won’t move any longer

Baby shampoo in the spray bottle or alcohol with the water??

Can PPF be installed over the top of the decals to protect them?

Excellent video! Thank you very much!

Great video, I realize it’s been a while, but hoping you or some of your viewers could help. I got the new top on and it’s nice and tight and looks pretty good if I say so myself….but the window trim pieces where the cable tucks in behind…my cable will not go behind the time piece towards the rear unless I physically tuck it in and then it stays in place and looks great. It almost like the cable is too long, but I know that’s not the case. I can’t figure out what I’m not doing correctly. I’ve kept it closed for about a month thinking it would form into place. I hope what I’m describing makes sense, any help would be appreciated. Thanks to all in advance!

Thanks for the video...I'm in the middle of this job installing a Sierra top...I did notice you put the star washer on in the wrong order. It looks like you didn't have it touching the fabric? On mine it was screw, hook, washer, fabric. You had screw, washer, hook, fabric.

...the Top is less complicated then the top on my my 79 super beetle !

...great vid

Question: Is it just that 17mm bolt that holds the axle stubs into the diff? Good video. Thanks

Got the job done really appreciate it!

0:55 by the text book should the wheels not be off the ground when removing Centerlock wheels? And how do you push the lock in and then give it a quarter turn; are they not splined and the socket pushes the lock in when it is on the Centerlock nut.

Great video very clear. You make it look easy, I know it's not. Now I have to do it myself.

Great video!!! I just changed the Gearbox oil on my 986 Boxter S 2003 6 speed without any problem. Is the Differential part of the gearbox or should be separate oil change?

After consulting, 5 lesbian friends all agree: The Meeting and Week One is very common amongst the Gay Women World of Dating. Except (!) the "let's get married" part has been thought out, and it's not asked or agreed upon lightly. We Homos have much to learn from Lesbian Authenticity and their lack of relationship-killing FOMO.

"Just pull hard" - I broke half of my door doing this. The plastic surrounding the clips broke instead of the clips coming out.

Hi there, do you have a video or instructions on how to remove the bin lid on the door? Cheers

Steven - Thanks for the great detailed videos! Just bought a Boxster that needs some TLC. I was able to replace the window regulator with ease watching your video. I took off the soft top last night and will embark on putting the replacement top on this week. I was skeptical of doing this myself until watching your video! Thanks again from a Texan living in Wisconsin!! Ciao

What a PITA lol ...makes me wanna shop Cayman instead ....as much as love a rag top

@4:48 You should be concerned about off-gassing. I've heard brake fluid is extremely hazardous to health. I bought one of those $100 fluid extractors from Harbor Freight and I gotta tell you, best decision of my life. I wish I bought one sooner.

Great video man thanks 🍻

Video TOP*****

Gorgeous bro

Will a 2002 boxer 2.7L engine swap into 2006 boxer that also has 2.7L?

Hey nice work. I have blown speakers I need to replace and now have an excellent idea of what I'm up against and how to sort it. Thankyou...

Hey man, I just got a beautiful Porsche boxter 986 ,1999 model. Are there any differences in repealing a Porsche boxter s and Porsche boxter convertible top? Best, Maik

Thanks for explaining how to remove the vacuum fitting on the passenger side filter housing, almost every other tutorial I watched seems to omit that step and it is not that simple to remove it.!!!
