Hi where can I buy these. I just snapped both of mine as went to put roof down but that latch hadn't quite cleared at the manual unlatch area, so went to put roof down and bang an awful noise!!! Please help me
+Ray I ordered new push rods which came with the white ball joint cups, same as the ones that were broken. The right hand side stays in position fine. Just the left side. I made sure the white threaded cup and adjustable sliding bracket were exactly the same as the originals. I also double checked to make sure both V plates that fit on the left and right transmissions were aligned and synced. These were fine also. I've got it booked into the garage to see if they can help me.
This advice saved me hundreds of dollars. Thanks so much. I replaced these in 15 minutes. Awesome! I purchased the black plastic replacements on eBay.

Great video good
job buddy
Thanks Ray for posting this, big help.
Thank s for. Help was going to buy. Metal part but makes sense why it broke. Thanks
Awesome video, you helped me enormously Regards Adam
Thank you. You just saved me a lot of money. :0)
Thanks for the video. How do you set the correct pushrod length using the slide adjuster?
I'm not sure if you had the hood in service mode but if you do this it should allow more space to work with.
+steve wilson , yes, I had it in service mode with hood 1/2 way up.
Check on eBay under Boxster convertible top push rod repair
worked perfect. BTW, it was 11 turns for me
Mine don’t snap in place. Should I use a bit of force?
From my experience, it snapped in place. Maybe lubricate it a bit and push a little harder?

Same
where do you buy the plastic ball joints ???
Sorry that was so long ago. Go online and try "pelican" Porsche parts
Do you know why my left push rod (that I've had to replace) would keep popping off when I open the hood fully ?
+steve wilson , Thanks for following up. My push rod has not popped off since replacing the ball joint. Could you have the wrong size replaced?
