Hello - sort of newbie here! Was registered a while ago, but forgot and changed my password! Just about to introduce myself on the Porsche Forum but I have a pressing question, my friend's Chim has been in Winter Storage and Battery is dead, as far as she can see the only way in is damaging to the roof? Surely this can't be true, can you IM / email me the answer too!!??

Absolutely not, there is no need to damage anything.

Best leave it to the professionals, how much is the local independant dealer likely to charge to come out to the car and get it started? - They are about a mile away maximum! ??

Bit of thread revival!

Forgot to leave my boot open on the Chimaera and/or leave the trickle charger plug in and have a flat battery. So can't get in the car. The car has the battery in the boot.

Any chance anyone can email be the secret way to get in please?

I have the Steve Heath Bible but haven't found anything in there yet that details how I can see.

Thanks
Dean

Normally it would not be a good idea disclosing this info as we don't know if the info was falling into the wrong hands.
However from your PH forum history I think you are legit so will PM.

Thieves do this, no harm in the owner doing it if possible

Thanks all. Got in OK and managed to get I to the boot to get the charger on. Normally I leave the boot lid ajar or the trickle charger on but forgot this time!
