Leaking 981 Booster - Any ideas?
Discussion
I found the driver's side floor soaking wet this morning after torrential rain. On my previous 987 there were drain holes for the roof to drain off behind each door shut but I thought on the 981 Porsche had improved this. The water could even be coming in the front, hard to tell has anyone suffered the same issue and would the solution? I'm guessing some drain tube is blocked but any clues where to start looking would be appreciated. Thanks.
Ok I've had a look at those forums and the advice is pretty nondescript. Someone talks about bending a lance for a compressor and there's a few exploded parts diagrams that seem to bear non resemblance to my car so can anyone say, from the picture below, what I should be looking at? Once I pulled a rubber cover off I could see a hole that went down into a tube about 2cm in dia and about 30m deep. (behind the seat belt area) I poked my tube down there with my hoover on suck but I'm not sure if it's done the trick/ Any more specific advice from those that have done it would be appreciated.

You don't have to remove anything. Half opening the roof you will see about 8-10 inches down a hole with a tube connected to it.
I couldn't see anything resembling that. As I said, I found a tube under the rubber flap shown in my photo below. Perhaps our cars are different? Anyway, I've booked it into my Porsche dealer tomorrow morning. I'll let the experts sort it out, and empty my wallet.

<clip> I hope you are fortunate, and the electrics haven't suffered.
I am afraid they have. It's very annoying that Porsche must know all about this issue and yet still design roofs like this. It will prevent me buying another Boxster which is a shame because they are great cars. scrounger73 said:
Fascinating, so I have no idea why Porsche Guildford said it was so difficult! Gassing Station | Boxster/Cayman | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
