After watching another video, I took the top control relay out, tapped in on the ground a few times, re-installed it and the top worked great.

I am absolutely not looking forward to removing the top from this car. We’ll see how this goes

I recently bought my boxster and your videos about the roof help me a lot! Just for the sterring wheel maybe you could change it for the 996 one, the other one looks more modern

Been looking at air compressors and impact drivers to do this job. What size compressor or psi do you use? Is there a certain psi that you need or is it based on the size/strength of the impact driver? Thanks in advance.

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

3:15 in the future, don't use air to blow out brake dust.... could contain asbestos... use brake cleaner, it prevents it from going into the air.

Holding the lock/unlock buttons on the remote does the same thing doesn't it?

There are holes in the baffles for weight reduction, it is a Porsche afterall.

you can manually open and close the roof by opening the rear boot.....

Wow thanks! Looks like a lot of work and sore hands but I need a new top. It looks very well made and the video explains a whole lot.

Most of the 986's have reached their 25th birthday. I expect that there are many materials such as the drip trays that could fail due to age. I hope that you continue to post videos showing your work. They will be valuable to your fellow owners. I have had similar experiences in which a two-hour job turned into an all-day affair. For example, a few years ago. I ripped one of my drip trays when I installed a 2004 top and frame in my 2000 Boxster. Fortunately, I was able find a used set quickly for a reasonable cost. I don't recall having to disassemble as many components as you did, but you may have done a better job than I did.

Thanks for explaining plugging the climate in to move the doors, same layout as on mine. I Feel brave enough to go ahead and do this now.

Great video. You can also ‘overwrite’ the engine bay cooling fan by grounding the relay and put a switch in between. I did that for the radiator fans, so I can decide when they kick-in, since I think the radiator fans kick in a little too late on warm days in traffic

Congratulations on your newly born son! He seems to like the car too (and the horn hahaha). I am a new subscriber and I am really enjoying this channel so far. Wonderful car and wonderful content.

I love how penny just materializes into the video standing like that 😂. Great video man, keep it up!

Super good job

Glad I watched this before assembling. Thank you

I want to learn about the motor replacement looks like mine was converted to manual from the guy I bought

You just need to leave it out in the sun to let the top stretch into place.

Is posible oil leak and smoke in exhaust ?

I'd like to think that would never happen to me, but I guess anything is possible. ha ha

Congratulations on your newly born son.

Glad to see you back on the channel and congrats with the arrival of your son.

Where did you purchase the plug extraction thing and what exactly is it called? Thanks

You don't know much about Porsche cars, dude.... -That drink.....Where are you planning to sit the cup ?? 😅😅

Eliminated my clunking Swap bar drop links F Need to do Coffin and fork

Great job! Contemplating doing my 02 986 I'm going with glass top as well Again, Great job Thank You

Thanks for the great video! Just fixed my 2003 986 that has been blowing foam at my face for years! I’m so happy I did it and you’re right, it was very easy to do.

Put the lug nuts on the slide hammer bracket with the good side facing out.

Hello greetings from Europe :) I am looking for a new control arms for 986 and I found Sidem allso. It has good price but I am affraid about quality little bit. What is your experience after using it for longer time and driving? Thank you very much !

I have the same problem , i hope to fixed up that easy

What about the taillights! Please help!

hi where are you getting the "Sidem" brand parts? thanks

Only real way to tell is the tire wear , camber can be done also , a flat piece of metal with a level gauge,

Thank you for posting a very clear video describing the steps to seal the holes in both doors. One thing I found helpful, based on your video, is the length of the radio and the a/c-heater control panels cables allowed me to located a standard size carton (16" x 12' x6") in front of the passenger seat, thereby not having to disconnect these cables and to reconnect the a/c-heater control cable when I moved to doors from "Hi" to "Lo" temperature settings.

Which one is the turn signal bulb?

My boxter right front side roof not connected well... You are Dr.boxter. i think you understand what i am saying. How do i connect it? At the moment it is ok to close open roof

I can hear hissing sound from right rear side. Recently replaced water pump. Because of that coolant replaced. I replceaed new coolant cap. But stillmhear hissing sound. Do you have any idea??

Looks like not easy to me😂 Dr. Boxter

my boxter has hissing sound while driving. recently water pump replaced. it made air coolant leakage. is it related ? how do I fix the issue?

wow good video. my 986 boxter exactly same issue. and my one of plastic cover is off from left and right side. that is palm size. I removed it because it block to close roof. but I am not sure the plactic cover's function. do you know what I mean? 😅

I had new tires put on my 03 Boxster S and noticed it drove funny on the way home. Got home and I always re-torque the lug bolts after any shop removes my wheels. I noticed looking at the tires and on one side the person that put the wheels back on, put the front at the back and vice-versa. I could have just as easily switched them to their proper spot, but felt like the shop should know and correct it. Took the car back and they fixed it, but didn't get offer a discount or anything for the inconvenience. I do know what shop it happened at, Tires Plus.

Great and helpful video!, I’m missing that t shape seal that goes in the second slot at the rear where the tape goes, any idea what that’s called or part number? I can’t find it online

Thank you for showing and explaining these helpful tools. Got my Boxster new and even didn't find the toolbox yet.

Thank you for this helpful video. Greatings from Germany!

old school was front wheel drive needed toe out and rear wheel drive needed toe in to allow for directional force.

Thanks for the video! I just finished this on my 996 turbo. I was wondering where all that foam was coming from

Good point. Thanks for sharing.
