Rear Bumper Removal | Porsche 718 Cayman Boxster

In this video I show you how to remove the rear bumper on the your 718 Porsche Cayman or Boxster. I'm demonstrating on my GT4 so there may be some small variances between models. Removing the bumper allows you to remove the lower valance or diffuser, and even allows you to change the PORSCHE script on the of the bumper (separate video for that linked below).

Excellent walk through. It's cool to see how Porsche has designed this for maintainability.

Excellent walk-thru! Very well done.

Fantastic video series. I greatly appreciate your attention to detail and get camera work and added painted images for greater clarity.

Watching the video to take apart a 2024 718 boxster with the moving spoiler, they are also T30's underneath. Video said T25's but this one with 500 miles is T30's. Guessing the other car you used for reference has been worked on.
Hoping those T30's that are hiding under the spoiler are all I need to remove on the top. I'll let you know if I have any trouble removing the bumper. Not sure if the rubber grommet looking clips on each end have to be removed as well.

Thanks for reporting back. Be sure to check out the forum post that is linked in the description below the video. That information comes from a Boxster

718 GT4 - I Removed the 4 hex bolts and removed the painted top piece of the tail, and removed the two hex bolts that secure the plastic section, but it won’t budge? How do I open the tail when the car is parked? Do I have to do this to reveal some bolts that I can’t see because the tail is currently in the closed position? The is no button in the car to lift it open.

There’s nothing to remove at that point. You have to remove all other fasteners to remove the bumper.
