Hi all,
My roof failed to close this morning and was stuck half way open.
I called the AA and after much searching and a few calls to his technical help desk managed to diagnose the problem as a broken drive cable.
He disconnected the motor end easily but we had no idea how to get to the gearbox end which is hidden in the upper rear wing.
I have ordered a new cable from the main dealer (I'm guessing pattern parts aren't available?) but how the hell do you get to the gearbox?
Any helpful pointers gratefully received.
Thanks....beer

So, after a bit of Internet searching I found ths web site:

http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Boxster_T...

It looks like it covers all the parts I need to look at in detail, with some very helpful photos too.
May be of use to some other boxster owners in the same situation.
